Frequently Asked Questions
When are Short Term Disability Premiums Set?
Group Underwriters set Short Term Disability Premiums during renewals. A group underwriter will review a group as a whole, factor in claims experience and set the rate based on a pre-determined cost analysis spreadsheet. The Short Term Disability premiums are billed monthly to the policyholder and will appear on the same invoice as their group health.
Short Term Disability plan renewals occur throughout the year and usually renew on the anniversary date of the policy or its original effective date.
Who should be advised of a Short Term Disability Claim?
Short Term Disability claims should be directed to our Customer Service Team on 298-0888 or at insurance@argus.bm Our Claims Team will advise if the claim is deemed a disability and communicate with the policyholder and employee on the particulars of the case.
What benefit(s) are payable for Short Term Disability?
Our standard income replacements are 50%, 66.67% and 75% of weekly earnings. Each benefit is subject to an overall weekly maximum, and plan design varies from plan sponsor.
Weekly Benefits will be paid to or on behalf of an Insured Employee if he/she becomes disabled while insured, is totally disabled throughout the Elimination Period, remains disabled beyond the end of the elimination period and submits proof of loss to us.
The Weekly Benefit will not exceed the Insured employee's net weekly benefit, or be paid for longer than the maximum benefit period. Please check with a group underwriter for additional information.
