Long-Term Disability entitlement arises when an employee's Short-Term Disability ends if an employee is still out of work due to illness, or injury. Benefits are typically provided at a percentage of salary i.e. 75% of salary or 50% of base salary until the employee turns 65.
Each Long-Term Disability insurance policy has different conditions for payout, diseases, or pre-existing conditions that may be excluded, and various other conditions that make the policy more or less useful to an employee.
