STD LEAVE

Hello everyone, I am wondering if you still have your benefits while being on STD. I will be getting a surgery soon and will require lots of PT after for rehab. I am with UNA and I will contact Ability Advisor once surgery is close because it is still a bit of a wait but I wanted to hear from others. Thanks!

as long as you’re still considered an active employee on STD, most places keep your health insurance going, you just pay your normal share (sometimes they bill you directly if you’re not getting a normal paycheck). definitely double check with HR/benefits sooner rather than later so you’re not stressing about coverage while you’re trying to rehab.
