Long-term Disability Insurance
The City of St. Louis offers Long-term Disability Insurance to eligible employees through The Hartford.
The Hartford Long-term Disability Insurance
The Long-term Disability (LTD) insurance policy provides you with long term income protection if you become disabled from a covered injury, sickness, or pregnancy. On or off the job, anyone can become disabled and that can mean months without a paycheck. But if you have LTD, you can have:
• A percentage of your income each month, depending on how much protection you have.
• Professional help for disability-related challenges from legal specialists, and financial and therapeutic counselors.
• Affordable group rates through your employer with convenient payroll deduction.
Need to Make a Change?
The City provides Basic Coverage to employees at no cost. Employees can choose to enroll or cancel Buy-up LTD Insurance at any time. In order to make a change, please complete a consolidated enrollment form and submit the form to your payroll specialist.
