Disability benefits

Disability benefits through the Death and Disability Plan provide you with income if you become disabled and are unable to work. The Board of Pensions partners with Lincoln Financial Group to administer these benefits.

Disability benefits coverage

Disability benefits provide a monthly income and continued benefits if you are sick or injured and unable to work. Generally, the monthly disability benefit is 70% of whichever is greater (up to the IRS maximum) — your effective salary, as reported to the Board, or the median effective salary. However, your benefit will not exceed 100% of your pre-disability salary.
