Cigna | Voluntary Short Term Disability Insurance
Confie offers you the opportunity to purchase Short Term Disability (STD) to provide income replacement if you become disabled
due to accident, sickness or pregnancy, through Cigna. If you experience a temporary disability, benefits begin 14 days after the
start of your disability and will continue up to a maximum of 26 weeks.
• California Employees: California State Disability provides a benefit of 55% of your pre‐disability earnings up to a maximum
benefit set by the state of California. This plan pays in addition to California State Disability an additional 20% of your pre‐
disability earnings up to a maximum benefit of $2,000 per week.
• All Other Employees: This plan works with state disability programs, Social Security, and any other group disability coverage,
to provide you with a combined monthly benefit equal to 60% of your pre‐disability earnings up to a maximum benefit of
$2,000 per week.
Since you contribute to the cost of this coverage, the benefits you receive should be free of both state and federal income tax. Consult
your tax advisor for more information.
All disability benefits are for non-occupational injuries while you are away from work.
