In partnership with Trinet, the school provides benefit-eligible employees with employer-paid Long Term Disability (LTD) benefits. An employee is eligible for LTD after completing 180 days of Short-Term Disability (STD) coverage through the school-sponsored STD plan.
The insurance carrier provides 50% of the employee's monthly earnings, up to a monthly maximum determined by the plan. LTD benefits can continue up to the Social Security Normal Retirement Age (SSNRA).
All LTD claims will be reviewed and evaluated by the insurance carrier in accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy. Approval of LTD benefits is contingent upon meeting the criteria for LTD as outlined in the policy.
Once approved, LTD benefits will continue to be provided to eligible employees for the duration of their disability, subject to periodic reviews by the insurance carrier to assess continued eligibility.
Employees are required to notify the Senior Director of Finance at cschlafer@launchschool.org as soon as possible upon becoming aware of an upcoming disability that may require the use of LTD benefits.
