For Open Enrollment, how should I enroll in short-term disability coverage?
Short-term disability coverage is still through our provider, MetLife.
You will not receive 100% of your pay under the State PFML plan. It will be a portion of your income. You can use the State's calculator at the link above to get an idea of what your payments would be from the State.
Short-term disability can be used to "top off" payments received from the State - but you can't get more than 100% of your regular income if taking PFML. "100%" of your income is based on your gross taxable wages. Using an old W2 might help give you more insight on to what is reported to the State as your gross taxable wages.
You will want to, at a minimum, make sure that your short-term disability election would get you up to 100% of your regular wages.
Keep in mind, also, that the State has the ability to approve or deny leave requests. If you fail to meet their deadlines or requirements, they may deny your leave, and short-term disability would be your other option in that case. If you decide to reduce your short-term disability coverage, you would need to submit evidence of insurability in the future, should you need to increase your coverage at a later time.
Additional information will be posted as we learn more.
