Short-Term Disability
Did you know that over 25% of today’s 20-year-olds will become disabled before they reach the age of 67? Whether you suffer from a back injury, are diagnosed with a serious illness, or become pregnant, you could go months without a paycheck. Short-Term Disability is designed to help protect your income while you work to get back on your feet and back to work! That is why TGH offers Short-Term Disability (STD) options through Lincoln Financial.
TGH provides you with STD coverage at no cost to you. You will receive coverage for up to 60% of your weekly base pay with a maximum benefit of $750 weekly for up to 26 weeks. You can also elect to buy up additional STD coverage of 66 2/3% of your weekly base pay with an aggregate maximum benefit of $1,500 weekly for up to 26 weeks. Please note, the 26-week maximum coverage period includes the 14-day elimination period for a disability due to sickness. Benefits are payable immediately for a disability due to injury. Pre-existing condition limitations apply to the buy-up STD benefit only.
Long-Term Disability
Long-Term Disability (LTD) can replace part of your paycheck if you’re disabled and can’t work for an extended period of time. That could be a few months to several years.
LTD pays 66 2/3% of your base pay up to a monthly maximum of $10,000, has a 180-day waiting period before benefits are paid, and benefits are paid until retirement age, typically 65 years of age. This is a voluntary benefit that you must actively elect to have coverage. You pay for this plan with after-tax dollars through convenient payroll deductions.

How Much Life Insurance Should You Purchase?

Unfortunately, accidents can happen to just about anyone. In fact, today the main causes of death, aside from heart disease and cancer, are accidents. These facts are not meant to worry you.

When you think about your family, have any of them experienced a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, or life threatening cancer? If you answered yes, then you understand the emotional and financial impact a critical illness can have on your hard earned savings.
The good news is that the TGH group voluntary critical illness product pays a lump sum benefit to each covered person at the time of diagnosis. This benefit can be used to help meet expenses that are not normally covered under traditional health insurance. This means you and your family can concentrate on getting well, without having to worry about having enough money to cover the bills.
Should you experience one of several life changing illnesses that would likely require you to be unable to work for an extended period of time, this policy would pay you either $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000, depending on which option you choose.
All plans include a $100 wellness benefit and a recurrence benefit.

Since accidents can happen at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it’s important to prepare for the unexpected. Accident insurance through Lincoln Financial Group helps you pay for out-of-pocket expenses associated with an accident by paying you a benefit depending on the injuries you suffer and the treatment you receive. You can use the money as you see fit, whether to pay for expenses associated with your accident, like a trip to the emergency room, or to pay for childcare so you can get to the doctor for a follow-up visit. The policy is designed to work in conjunction with your medical plan as benefits are paid on top of what your health insurance may cover and can be used at your own discretion.
Accident insurance provides extra money to help make ends meet and manage medical costs and keep your savings intact. The plan consists of a variety of benefits that can help cover you and your family from accident and medical expenses and hospital expenses due to accidents. Coverage is 100% portable at the same rates, should you change employment.
Every year that you complete a qualified health screening, you and your covered dependent(s) are eligible for a $75 Wellness Benefit.
