Short-Term Disability

Conga provides Company-paid coverage that pays you a disability benefit for up to 26 weeks.

Details
Long-Term Disability

Long-term coverage protects you from the financial impact of an extended disability.

Details

Short-Term Disability

The Short-Term Disability (STD) plan is designed to provide you with income if you are unable to work due to injury, illness, or other eligible event, including maternity.

Taxability of Your Disability Benefit

You have the option to count premiums paid on your behalf by your employer as taxable income in exchange for a tax-free disability benefit. Below is an illustration of your options.

  • Choose the taxable benefit. You will have no additional funds taken from your paycheck. When you file a claim for Short or Long Term Disability, your paid disability benefits will be treated as regular income and will be taxed.
  • Choose the non-taxable benefit. Premiums paid on your behalf will be treated as imputed income, and (very small, usually less than $1) additional taxes will be taken from your paycheck. When you file a claim for Short or Long Term Disability, your paid disability benefits will be paid to you free of taxes.

Example:

  • An employee making $50,000 per year is eligible for a weekly short-term disability benefit of $576.93.
  • The employee currently pays a tax rate of 20%.
  • Below is an illustration of this employee's two options:
 Taxable Benefit OptionNon-taxable Benefit Option
Weekly STD Benefit$576.93$576.93
Additional taxes paid per month in regular paycheck$0.00$0.45*
Additional taxes paid per week out of paid benefits$115.39$0.00
Actual paid STD benefit per week$461.54$576.93

*Assumes $2.25 of employer-paid premium paid for the coverage, multiplied by the tax rate of 20%.
