Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University is currently offering employees the opportunity to apply for guaranteed-issue Aflac short-term disability coverage (up to $3,000) to supplement any existing benefits. That means no medical questionnaire is required*.
Short-term disability coverage is designed to provide, to persons insured, coverage for disabilities resulting from a covered accident or sickness, subject to any limitations set forth in the policy. Coverage is not provided for basic hospital, basic medical-surgical or major medical expenses.
Full-time employees working 19 or more hours per week are eligible. The insured must earn a minimum of $9,000 per year to be eligible for coverage. The proposed insured must be between 18 and 74 years of age to be covered; the policy terminates on the policy anniversary date following the proposed insured’s 75th birthday.
Aflac short-term disability is sold on an individual basis.
- You can choose a plan based on your financial needs and income.
- Your Aflac plan stays with you even when you change or leave your job.
- Aflac pays you a cash benefit for each day you are disabled, once the elimination period has been met.
- Aflac does not coordinate benefits with other insurance carriers.
- Aflac provides benefits for both total and partial disability. Even if you are able to work, partial disability benefits may be available to help compensate for lost income.
- Premiums may be waived when you have a prolonged disability.
