LONG-TERM DISABILITY
QSC believes that Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage is important because anyone at any age may become injured or ill for
an extended period of time. Our LTD coverage through Cigna will replace 60% of your pre-disability earnings to a monthly
maximum of $10,000 if you are disabled for more than 90 days and are unable to work. LTD benefits are offset with other
sources of income, such as Social Security and workers’ compensation. You are automatically covered under the LTD plan
at no cost to you.
Please note that benefits for new hires wiII not be payable for a disability within the first 12 months of the plan if you have
been treated, consulted or diagnosed for a pre-existing condition within 3 months prior to your effective date of coverage.
