Short-term disability benefits may be payable under a private insurance policy procured by you or by your employer. The policy will provide a definition of "disability" that has to be met in order to trigger benefits. Depending upon the definition, you may have to be rendered unable to perform the duties of your regular occupation at the time of the disability, or disabled from performing any duties of any occupation for which you are otherwise suited by education and experience. The policy may also prescribe a waiting period before benefits are payable, and will provide a maximum duration for benefits.
Therefore, the nature of the surgery and its effects upon you will determine whether short term disability benefits will be payable.
