INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DISABILITY INSURANCE PLAN WITH LAFOURCHE PARISH SCHOOL BOARD Disability Insurance Benefits are designed to help you replace a portion of your income if you are disabled. Disability Insurance benefits will be offset or reduced by the amount you receive from other income. This is sometimes referred to as a coordinating benefit. Short-Term Disability coverage pays you for non-occupational disabilities only. Long-Term Disability coverage pays for occupational and non-occupational disabilities. EXAMPLE OF DISABILITY BENEFIT: Annual Salary - $35,000 Salary - $2,916 Disability Insurance % Payable 60% Disability Insurance Benefit - $1,750 Disability Insurance Benefits are TAX FREE (because you have paid the premium with after-tax dollars) The monthly Disability Insurance benefit is reduced by any other income you receive. Example: You cannot collect 100% of your salary (accumulated sick leave), extended sick leave (65% of your salary), workers compensation income, or donated sick leave days, and also receive a disability insurance benefit. Obviously, this would provide you with more income than you were making before the disability. If you are disabled and you have limited or no accumulated sick leave or you choose not to use your sick leave, you could then collect 60% of your salary TAX FREE under the disability insurance plan. Caution: If you choose not to go out on sick leave with pay, this would affect how long some of your insurance coverages will last. You will not be able to continue your insurance coverage under this option (unless you choose COBRA) for health, dental, and/or vision. If you have a large amount of accumulated sick leave with Lafourche Parish School Board and you intend to use it in the event of a disability, you should consider only purchasing the Long-Term Disability Insurance. This benefit will start paying you after your accumulated or extended sick leave pay stops. The Long-Term Disability Insurance plan pays to age 65 if you qualify after 90 days of disability. The benefit is TAX FREE (if paid with after-tax deductions). To collect Disability Benefits from the Short or Long-Term Disability Insurance plan, you must file a claim with the insurance company at the start of your disability. If you qualify, you will be eligible for benefits according to the insurance contract provisions. Should you have any questions about your benefits, please contact the Lafourche Parish School Board Insurance Department.
