4. Policy #8.2.8 Revision - Long-Term Disability Insurance
VP Marv Dodge presented the revisions to policy #8.2.8. This revision confirms the University's
commitment to provide long-term disability coverage and removes language specific to individual LTD
insurance providers making the policy more global in its application. In addition, section D
clarifies that long-term disability coverage now extends beyond the age of 65 but with provisions
to step-down the length of time an employee may be eligible to receive disability benefits, should
they become disabled. This applies to exempt and non-exempt employees that work at 3/4 time.
