Hi Bonnie, The University of Washington doesn't offer catastrophic leave or short-term disability insurance. Our long-term disability insurance is offered as a (very) basic benefit and has a 90-day wait period. However, one can purchase optional long-term disability insurance with waits as short as 30 days. See more on this program here<http://hr.uw.edu/benefits/other-insurance/long-term-disability-insurance/>.
Hope this helps, Rebecca REBECCA GOODWIN DEARDORFF Director of Rules Coordination Rules Coordination Office 448 Gerberding Hall Box 351210 Seattle WA 98195-1210 206.543.9219 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> / washington.edu/rules [logo] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bonnie Leigh Reifsteck Sent: Friday, January 13, 2017 8:24 AM To: Institutional policy-related discussions ([email protected]) <[email protected]> Subject: [acupa-l] Short-term Disability waiting period Good morning, We are doing some research on catastrophic leave and short-term disability programs. If your institution has a short-term disability insurance plan, how long is the initial waiting period? 30 days or shorter?
