MCC has a short-term disability (STD) benefits program for eligible employees. STD benefits are paid to eligible employees who cannot work because of qualifying disability conditions caused by an injury or illness.

Employees in the following employment classifications are eligible for the STD plan:

Eligible employees may participate in the STD plan subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement between MCC and its insurance carrier. If the disability comes from being pregnant or a pregnancy-related illness, it will be treated the same as any other illness that prevents an employee from working.

The STD benefits will be offset by any money you might get from workers' compensation so that the total amount you get does not go past the maximum level.

There are more details in the STD Summary Plan Description including how much can be paid and when, the limits, the restrictions, and what is not covered. If you have questions about STD benefits, contact your Program Director for more information.
