Participating in a Dental Plan

Coverage During a Leave

Short-Term Disability

If you are a staff employee and are not actively at work due to an approved short-term disability leave, your dental coverage will remain in place at the same level as before your leave. The costs for the coverage will be deducted from your short-term disability check. Upon return to work from this leave, the cost for your dental coverage will be deducted again from your regular paycheck.

Academic employees are not eligible for short-term disability. Contact your department for more information.
