To provide continuing income to eligible faculty members in the event of total disability, a group disability insurance program is provided through The Standard. There is no cost to the individual for the base coverage. Individuals may choose a higher option at their expense through the flexible benefits program.

Because a six-month waiting period is required before The Standard disability income begins, there is a transition from University employment and salary continuation based on eligible service. The following schedule applies:
 

Employee's UD Service	Salary Continuation
1st and 2nd year	8 weeks at base salary plus 16 weeks at 60% base salary
3rd and 4th year	12 weeks at base salary plus 12 weeks at 60% base salary
5th and 6th year	16 weeks at base salary plus 8 weeks at 60% base salary
7th and 8th year	20 weeks at base salary plus 4 weeks at 60% base salary
9 years and over	24 weeks at base salary (100% salary)
