Duke disability benefits can help provide for your financial future if you become disabled.
Duke offers comprehensive disability insurance programs, including both an employer paid plan and voluntary
employee paid programs.
The Duke University Disability Program provides you with income if you are unable to work due to a disability
beyond a certain amount of time, called a benefit waiting period. Your benefits will
replace up to 60% of your base
salary until you are eligible to retire or you can no longer show proof of
your disability. Duke pays the entire cost of the plan.
**You are automatically enrolled in the Duke Disability plan on the date you become eligible.
Duke's voluntary disability plans, which are insured by Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company, replace a
portion of your income if you cannot work due to an accident or illness. Two voluntary disability plans are available
to protect your income as a full-time employee - Short Term Disability and Long Term Disability.
