25. Short Term Income Protection (STIP)

26. If you become temporarily disabled, you can receive up to 60% of your monthly salary. Premiums are based your monthly salary and length of benefit (either 90 or 180 days). What is STIP?

27. Become an HSTA member • When you sign up for STIP, the Trust will subsidize a portion of the premium. The subsidy is up to $10.00 per month for qualifying members who elect to cover 100% of the monthly gross salary. How can I take advantage of this offer?

28. For Example: Chris is a 25 year old teacher who is pregnant. She only has 14 days sick leave. Chris does not have enough sick leave, so she would be taking leave without pay.

29. Continue Example: Can you imagine? Not having income while out of work can cause financial stress. If you depend on your paycheck for your daily living expenses; you should consider short-term income protection plan that will help pay your basic expenses while you are temporarily disabled. It is a valuable protection against the “what ifs” in life.

30. The premium cost is based on your monthly salary and the plan length. What will it cost?

31. Using this example, • Monthly gross salary: $3,000.00 • Length of coverage: Plan 1 (90 days) • Selected monthly disability benefit: 60% (maximum %) of monthly gross salary or $1800.00 per month. $25.56 Per Month Premium Calculation

32. Monthly Premium: $25.56 Less the subsidy: ( 10.00)* Chris would only pay: $15.56 per month for her STIP coverage. *The HSTA VEBA Trust will subsidize up to $10.00 per month for qualifying members who elect to cover the maximum % of the monthly gross salary. PremiumforChris

33. In summary, Chris will only pay $15.56 permonthand receive both the Short Term Income Protection Plan and the Long Term Care Base Plan. Chris’ TotalCost&Benefit
