Long-Term Disability:

Things to Know | To Apply for LTD Benefits

Things to Know back to top
  • Any member or former member may submit a claim for LTD.

  • If a member becomes disabled on or after July 1, 2005, his/her waiver of premiums will stop when the member is eligible for normal retirement.

  • If the member’s employment is being terminated because of a disability, please complete a Termination of Employment form. The form is available in electronic format.

  • LTD benefits are not available to members eligible for normal retirement.

  • Before LTD benefits may be paid, the member must complete the 90-day benefit waiting period or exhaust sick leave, whichever is later.

  • No department may take any action that prohibits a member or former member from submitting a claim.

  • A termination for cause would not prohibit submission of an LTD claim.

  • For detailed information regarding the MOSERS LTD plan through Standard Insurance Company, please refer to the Long-Term Disability Handbook.
