Cost Calculation Examples:
If your eligible bonus is $25,000, your coverage option is 100% and you are age 37, your cost is:
If you are paid semi-monthly:
  • $25,000 ÷ 12 months = $2,083.33 × 3.5280% = $73.50 (annual) ÷ 24 pay periods = $3.06 per semi-monthly paycheck
If you are paid weekly:
  • $25,000 ÷ 12 months = $2,083.33 × 3.5280% = $73.50 (annual) ÷ 52 pay periods = $1.41 per weekly paycheck
If your eligible bonus is $300,000, your coverage option is 50% and you are age 45, your cost is:
If you are paid semi-monthly:
  • $150,000 ÷ 12 months = $12,500 × 6.8040% = $850.50 (annual) ÷ 24 pay periods = $35.44 per semi-monthly paycheck
If you are paid weekly:
  • $150,000 ÷ 12 months = $12,500 × 6.8040% = $850.50 (annual) ÷ 24 pay periods = $16.36 per weekly paycheck

Will my cost change?
The cost of your Long Term Disability Bonus Income Plan coverage is based on your age as of the prior December 1st. As you get older, the incidence of disabilities increases, and the cost of providing coverage increases. Accordingly, your cost increases.
The amount of your eligible bonus and your elected covered coverage option percentage benefit amount will also impact your cost.
When will my cost change go into effect?
Your cost for Long Term Disability Bonus Income Plan coverage may change. Generally, these changes may occur each January 1.
The Company reserves the right to change the amount you are required to contribute at any time.

Do I pay for coverage with before-tax or after-tax dollars?
You pay for your Long Term Disability Bonus Income Plan with after-tax dollars which are deducted from your paycheck.
Do I pay taxes on the long term disability payments I receive?
