Steps to Request A LOA
Timely reporting of your leave is critical. If you expect to be out of work for a serious medical condition or expected to miss 3 or more days, you must take the following steps:
Step
As Soon As Possible
Notify your supervisor and/or your local HR department. You do not need to discuss private health issues when providing this information.
Step
Within 30 Days of Your Leave Date
To request an LOA, visit: Standard.com/absence. First-time users will need to create an account. If you don’t have Internet access, you can call: 800-232-3146.
Be ready to provide your personal, job, illness/injury and provider information (see page 9 for specifics). The Standard will mail your initial claim packet & LOA paperwork to your home address.
Step
Within 15 Days of Reporting Your Absence to The Standard
Submit the requested documentation to The Standard to get your LOA processed.
Union Employees
If you are a union employee, you will need to complete the leave request process with Standard Insurance Company (as outlined in this section), and then contact your local HR contact to determine if there are any union specific related union leaves you are eligible for. The Standard Insurance Company does not administer union related leave programs or union disability benefits.
