SHORT TERM INCOME PROTECTION (STIP)

26

WHAT IS STIP?

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).

27

HOW CAN I TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OFFER?

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.

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

WHAT WILL IT COST?

The premium cost is based on your monthly salary and the plan length.

31

PREMIUM CALCULATION

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

32

PREMIUM FOR CHRIS

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.

33

CHRIS’ TOTAL COST & BENEFIT

In summary, Chris will only pay $15.56 per month and receive both the Short Term Income Protection Plan and the Long Term Care Base Plan.

Your current age at the time of enrollment

42

LTC CALCULATION EXAMPLE:Current Age: 29

Plan: 5

Monthly Facility Benefit Amount: $5,000.00

Facility Benefit Duration: 3 years

Formula:

Rate for plan chosen x Facility Monthly Benefit Amount /500 = Monthly Premium

$2.30 x $5,000.00/500 = 11,500/500 =

$23.00 per month

43

HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THAT SAME COVERAGE WOULD BE IF YOU WERE TO WAIT 30 YEARS LATER TO APPLY FOR IT?

44

IF YOU WAIT 30 YEARS, THAT SAME COVERAGE WOULD COST YOU $60.50 MORE PER MONTH OR $726.00 MORE PER YEAR.

THAT IS ABOUT A 261% INCREASE; YOU WOULD PAY 4X MORE IF YOU WAIT.

45

LTC CALCULATION EXAMPLE:

Current Age: 59

Plan: 5

Monthly Facility Benefit Amount: $5,000.00

Facility Benefit Duration: 3 years

Formula:


$8.35 x $5,000.00/500 = 41,750/500 =

$83.50 per month

46

CALCULATION COMPARISON

Formula: Age 29


$2.30 x $5,000.00/500 = 11,500/500 = $23.00

Formula: Age 59


$8.35 x $5,000.00/500 = 41,750/500 = $83.50

47

CONCLUSION

If you have the extra income, you should consider LTC coverage. And if not, just sign up for the Basic Life Insurance for $1.50 per month and get the LTC Base Plan for no additional cost to you.
