Washington and Lee University
Benefit eligible employees, upon completion of their first of service will be enrolled in the University's Long Term Disability Insurance program. The University pays the entire premium. Employees will be contacted when they become eligibe.
The plan provides employees with an income payment (normally to age 65) of 60% of former monthly wage, less the sum of benefits from governmental sources such as social security. This income payment would begin following six months of continuous total disability.
After two years of service, employees will be enrolled in the long term disability plan that will continue to make annual contributions to the TIAA/CREF Retirement Annuity if you are participating in that program at the time of disability. The contribution will be 10% of salary at the time of disability. Therefore, when the income benefit ends (normally at age 65) annuity payment can begin. This assures you of a lifetime income.
Additional details are available by contacting the Office of Human Resources.
