As the table below shows, you continue to be eligible for
coverage under the Expanded Long-Term Disability Plan during
many different kinds of leaves. However, you must continue
to pay your premium in order to continue coverage on that
portion of your base salary.
Note:
Continued coverage is not available during a reduction in
force, educational leave, or military leave, or when coverage
is available from another employer.

Footnotes
1If
there is a "Yes" in your "Eligibility Accrues
During Leave" column, you will be enrolled when you
meet your years of service criteria, even if you are on
a leave when you meet the criteria. If there is a "No"
in your column, you will not be enrolled automatically until
you have returned to work in an eligible appointment for
at least 20 continuous work days at the appointment effort
that was in effect when your leave began.
2When
calculating salary, the Benefits Office assumes that you
have an ongoing appointment with the same percent of effort.
When your salary fluctuates during the 12-month period prior
to your last day of work, your benefits will be based on
the greater of:
- your
annual base salary as of your last day of work, or
- your
annual base salary for the 12 consecutive months prior
to the last day of work.
3Use
your average base salary over the entire 12-month period
as the basis for determining your predisability base salary.
4Benefits
will not be paid in lieu of furlough or sabbatical.
