Voluntary Long Term Disability—NEW!
Long term disability (LTD) protects your family by providing you with a percentage
of your income while you are disabled for a longer period than short-term
disability would otherwise cover. This voluntary coverage is offered through our
new partnership. The LTD plan will pay 50 percent of your gross wages up to a
maximum beneit of $5,000 per month. Payments will begin after you have been
totally disabled for 90 days. Those eligible continue to receive LTD beneits until
they reach Social Security normal retirement age. The cost of the plan is paid on a
post-tax basis so beneits will be paid tax-free.
If you do not elect coverage during this initial open enrollment period and you
would like to elect coverage at a later date, you must provide evidence of insurability
and be approved by UNUM.
In order for coverage to be effective on December 1, you must be actively at work.
If not, coverage will not be effective until you return to active employment.
LTD Premium Example
As you go online to enroll on the new MG+BW Lockton Marketplace website,
the cost of coverage will automatically be calculated based on your age as of
December 1 and your current base salary. The example below is for someone in the
40–44 age group.
$12 hourly rate * 40 hours = $480 * 52 weeks = $24,960
$24,960/12 months = $2,080/100 = $20.80 * $1.04 = $21.63 monthly premium
