BENEFITS

This program pays 70% of the first $4,807 of your weekly pre-disability earnings
(minimum weekly benefit of $15; maximum weekly benefit of $3,365 before reductions)
once you have been unable to work in your own occupation due to a disability for a
period of 7 days. You are considered disabled if you are unable to perform the material
duties of your job and you suffer a loss of at least 20% of your pre-disability income.
The maximum benefit period is 90 days. Benefits will be reduced to the extent you earn
certain other income while disabled.
