How the Plan Works
The Long Term Disability Bonus Income Plan provides for an additional level of income replacement if you elect this coverage and qualify for benefits under the Basic Long Term Disability Plan and the Optional Long Term Disability Plan. Approved benefits begin to be paid on the seventh month of disability.
You must qualify and elect benefit coverage under the Basic Long Term Disability Plan and the Optional Long Term Disability Plan to be considered for benefits under this Plan. The Company provides you with basic disability coverage and you can chose to purchase this additional coverage.
The Plan offers two coverage options: a 50% option and a 100% option. If you are approved to receive the Long Term Disability Bonus Income benefit, the Plan provides you with a monthly benefit of 60% of your covered benefit amount, up to a maximum of $15,000 per month.
The covered benefit amount is determined by applying the coverage option percentage to your eligible bonus. The 100% covered benefit amount coverage option is subject to a maximum covered benefit amount of $300,000. The 50% coverage option is subject to a minimum covered benefit amount of $50,000 and a maximum of $150,000.

  • the 100% coverage option, your covered benefit amount would be $30,000 and your Long Term Disability Bonus Income Plan annual benefit payment would be $18,000 ($30,000 × 60%).
As another example, if your eligible bonus is $80,000 and you elect:
  • the 100% coverage option, your covered benefit amount would be $80,000 and your Long Term Disability Bonus Income Plan annual benefit payment would be $48,000 ($80,000 × 60%).
  • the 50% coverage option, your covered benefit amount would be $50,000 (minimum covered benefit amount) and your Long Term Disability Bonus Income Plan annual benefit payment would be $30,000 ($50,000 × 60%).
