Disability Plans
STATE DISABILITY INSURANCE (SDI)
Employees covered under AFSCME collective bargaining agreements are eligible for State Disability Insurance (SDI). SDI benefits are payable when an employee is off work for more than 7 days due to a personal disability. SDI benefits will be integrated with an employee’s sick leave hours in accordance with the following procedures:
Integration of sick leave with SDI will bring an employee to his/her full pay and is not intended to give an employee additional compensation. Additionally, integration of SDI benefits and sick leave is not intended to give additional leave time under the terms of any state or federally mandated leave programs.
LONG TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE (LTD)
If you continue to be disabled for 60 days, you may be eligible to receive a monthly benefit based on a percentage of your monthly salary. The amount of your benefit is based on your monthly income in effect just prior to your date of disability. Your monthly salary is defined as your base salary. The City of Burlingame provides LTD coverage at no cost to you.
The LTD plan does not cover any disabilities caused by or resulting from a pre-existing condition. You have a pre-existing condition if you received medical treatment, consultation, care, or services including diagnostic measures, or took prescribed drugs or medicines in the 3 months just prior to your effective date of coverage; or you had symptoms for which an ordinary prudent person would have consulted a health care provider in the 3 months just prior to your effective date of coverage; AND, disability begins in the first 12 months after your effective date of coverage.
