How DEBS Protects Your Workforce
We Have the Answers
Are your short-term disability insurance plans employee-sponsored?
Most short-term disability plans are offered voluntarily by employers to provide income replacement for eligible employees. However, Diversified Employee Benefit Services connects companies with providers that offer voluntary and employer-sponsored plans. This is true for long-term disability plans, as well.
How much income would short-term disability insurance replace?
Most short-term disability policies replace 60–70% of your employee’s pre-disability income up to a monthly maximum limit set by the insurer. DEBS helps businesses and their employees understand the exact percentage and limits applicable to each policy.
Can employees enroll in short-term disability insurance at any time?
If purchasing an individual policy, the insured must undergo medical underwriting and could be denied based on pre-existing conditions. For employer-based group disability plans, there is usually an annual open enrollment period where they can elect coverage.
