Long Term Disability

In the event that you become disabled you potentially two options for income protection:

The State University Retirement System (SURS) has a disability component. There is normally a two year waiting period before coverage begins. This comes automatically with SURS participation.

Prudential Long Term Disability is an optional program available to faculty and staff. This program bridges the gap in SURS coverage by:

  • providing protection in the first two years
  • supplementing the amount paid by SURS for longer term employees
