Disability coverage protects you in the event you lose income due to a disabling sickness or injury for an extended period of time.
Eastman provides Short-Term Disability for non-job related illness or injury for up to 1,040 hours. Should you have a work-related illness or injury, Eastman’s Worker’s Compensation Supplement Plan provides up to 1,040 hours of coverage.
After your STD benefits expire, Eastman’s Long-Term Disability Plan may provide a portion of your income as long as you continue to qualify under the provisions of the LTD plan.
Long-term disability coverage is an income replacement program that protects you and your family in the event you become disabled, have exhausted your short-term disability benefit and are unable to work. Eastman provides 50% coverage to you at no cost. If you choose to enroll in the 60% option, your biweekly contribution will be deducted from your pay. Proof Of Good Health (POGH) is required when increasing your coverage from 50% to 60%. You will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire online.
Contributions for the long-term disability 60% coverage option will be deducted from payroll after taxes.
