Extended Disability Benefits. In the event of total disability which exceeds your maximum benefit period under the salary continuation plan, you will receive a monthly income based on the Schedule of Benefits in Article III, Section 1. You are responsible to provide satisfactory proof of disability to the LTD insurance carrier, including obtaining necessary medical information from your provider/providers to support your disability initially and for any necessary re-certification as required by the carrier. Extended Disability (LTD) payments will be suspended until satisfactory proof is supplied. This long-term disability benefit will be reduced by any other benefits; you may be eligible to receive such as Social Security, Workers’ Compensation or Company-sponsored pension benefits. When Benefits Begin: LTD benefits begin after you have been continuously disabled for six months as a result of injury, illness, or pregnancy. This sixth-month period is called your waiting period.

Extended Disability Benefits. An employee at work on or after June 23, 2018, and who subsequently receives 52 weeks of Sickness and Accident Benefits may be eligible to receive Extended Disability Benefits on a monthly basis. Benefits payable are determined in accordance with the summary schedule for Extended Disability Benefits in effect on the date the disability commences. As of June 23, 2009, during partial return to work, the amount of top up will be calculated using the same method as for S&A benefit. This provision provides an incentive for a graduated return to work to reintegrate into the workplace after a total disability by permitting you to earn income for hours worked, in addition to your disability benefits which are adjusted according to the return to work schedule. Here is how top up is calculated: An employee works 40 hours/week and receives a monthly benefit for total disability in the amount of $1800. If he returns to work gradually on the basis of two eight hour days per week over the course of a month, his benefits will be adjusted as follows: $1800 divided by 160 hours full time for a month = $11.25 per hour 2 days of 8 hours worked, over four weeks = 64 hours worked 64 hours worked at $11.25 per hour = $720.00 $1800 - $720.00 for hours worked as planned = $1080.00 paid in benefits for that month. To receive Extended Disability Benefits, you must be totally disabled so as to be unable to engage in any gainful occupation at the Company for which you are, or may reasonably become, qualified by education, training or experience. Your monthly benefit is shown in the summary of benefits. Effective December 31, 2006, employee’s age 65 or older will not be eligible for coverage under the Extended Disability Plan. If, because of differences in the respective entitlement criteria, you are eligible to receive Extended Disability Benefits hereunder and you qualify for disability benefits under C.P.P./Q.P.P., your Extended Disability Benefit will be reduced by an amount equivalent to such C.P.P./Q.P.P. benefit. Such C.P.P./Q.P.P. offset will be frozen at an amount of $414.13 per month for the life of the Collective Agreement. The total Extended Disability Benefit periods are equal to your years of seniority with the Company at the beginning of your disability minus 12 months, but benefits will not continue beyond the date of your death or the first day of the second month following the month in which you attain Statutory Benefit Age, (Statutory Benefit age under this section ...
