Best Answer

The amount your employer pays for the cost of your group Disability insurance is uncertain. Some companies will pay for the full premium, others pay for 50% and some will not pay any of the premium but offer coverage on a voluntary basis instead.

You should also know that if your employer pays for your group Disability benefits, the benefits will be paid on a taxable basis. Hence the 60% benefit you expect to receive will be taxed and reduced to more like 45% income replacement. For this reason, many employees in this situation, such as Federal employees, will purchase supplemental coverage on the individual market.

In order to find out what percentage of the cost your employer pays, you must ask or review your benefits program brochure, if you are provided one.

If I am reading the question correctly you are asking how much you would collect on disability on a group claim. The answer to that would be on your employers policy.

Is an employer obligated to pay health insurance premiums when an employee goes on short term disability when they normally pay it if employee is not on short term disability?

The employer is obligated to follow its own written policy about employees out on short-term disability leave. The employer cannot, for example, pay for the president's health insurance when she is out on STD leave and then not pay for the entry-level clerk's health insurance when he is out on STD leave. If the employer does not have a written policy, then all employees who take a disability leave should be treated the same.

If my employer withhold my disability benefit I am entitled to is that discrimination?

No. There is no possible method in which your employer can withhold this. The Government is the governing body for disability insurance. They issue checks for disability. If you are trying to get a workmens compensation claim, the company is not the issuing body either. The company has an insurance company that would pay these claims and again, the administering body is the Government. The employer is only responsible to pay you for when you are working. Compensation claims go through your state.

Can you receive disability from your job and disability from social security at the same time?

Yes, it is very common for disability insurance plans to include a clause for social security disability, meaning the insurance company will pay a portion of the monthly benefit, expecting that you would apply for social security benefits to pay for the "Supplemental Social Security benefits". In the event you get declined by Social Security, then the insurance company would cover the additional supplemental benefits. Employer group plans as well as individual disability insurance plans can include that clause.
