Life Can Sometimes Take Unexpected Turns
At DISA, we understand that life can sometimes take unexpected turns, bringing forth challenges such as serious illnesses or injuries. To stand firmly by your side during such times, we offer a Short Term Disability plan that acts as a financial safety net, ensuring that you continue to receive a part of your income if you find yourself unable to work.
Short-Term Disability Overview:
The Short-Term Disability program automatically kicks in in the event of a non-occupational injury or illness, providing you with a significant portion of your income. This initiative seamlessly transitions into a long-term plan if necessary, securing your financial stability even if your recovery period extends beyond the short-term benefit duration.
Eligibility Details:
You are automatically enrolled on your date of hire. Benefits begin after you have been disabled for 7 consecutive days while under the care of a physician, and can extend up to 12 weeks if medically warranted (including the one week waiting period). The plan covers up to 70% of your weekly salary, with a cap of $2308.
Claim Process:
In the unfortunate event that you need to claim this benefit, we have aimed to make the process straightforward and hassle-free. You can file your claim either by contacting Sun Life directly by phone at 888-444-0239 or create your Sun Life account online at www.sunlife.com/account and click on “submit a claim.”
Your well-being is our priority, and we are here to support you when you need it the most.
