Section 2007-7.0 - STD Coverage - Less Than Twelve Month Educational Employees Only (Institutions of Higher Education, School Districts, Charters Schools, DOE)

7.1 Employees who develop a disability during the normal working period are eligible to file a STD claim and receive benefits through the end of the current school year assuming the employee is able to satisfy the calendar day elimination period before the last day of the school year. Should the disability continue through the employee's non-working period and into the next school year, the non-working time period counts toward satisfaction of the 182 calendar day STD benefit period.

7.2 Employees who are unable to satisfy the calendar day elimination period before the end of the current school year will resume completion of the elimination period as of the first day of the next school year.

7.3 Disabilities that begin during a non-working period may not be claimed until the normal working period resumes. The actual date of the employee's disability will remain unchanged and reflected in the DIP insurance carrier or third-party administrator's system however the elimination period begins the first working day of the new school year.
