If you are unable to work due to an illness or injury, our disability plans will work together to provide a source of income
         to meet your needs. Disability insurance provides benefits that replace part of your lost income when you become
         unable to work due to a covered injury or illness.





           California State Disability (SDI)
           If you experience a Short Term Disability claim, you are eligible for benefits provided by the state. California State
           Disability Insurance (SDI) is a partial wage-replacement insurance plan for California workers. The SDI program is
           state-mandated and funded through employee payroll deductions. SDI provides short term benefits to eligible
           workers who suffer a loss of wages when they are unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury,
           pregnancy, or childbirth. For more information on eligibility, benefit amounts, and instructions on how to file a claim
           for the SDI program please visit the EDD website at www.edd.ca.gov or call 888.480.3287.

         State Mandated Costs: In California, employees have disability benefits (CASDI) through the State and share in the cost
         via payroll deduction. The voluntary disability benefit is paid in addition to state disability benefits providing additional
         income protection.  In NJ and NY, the state requires the company to have a statutory disability policy and the Company
         provides a private plan.
