Differences from Group LTD coverage

Definition of Disability. The Individual Disability Insurance definition of disability is based on being unable to perform one or more of the essential duties of your regular occupation. This definition will remain the same regardless of future fluctuations in your Total Annual Cash Compensation (TACC).
Pre-Existing Condition Limitation. Individual Disability Insurance coverage has no pre-existing condition limitation.
Offsets for Disability Benefits from Other Sources. Individual Disability Insurance coverage has no offsets for disability benefits from other sources, such as from Social Security disability income.
Mental Disorders: Benefits for disability caused by mental disorders are limited to a total of 24 months of IDI benefits for all such disabilities during your lifetime. Mental disorder means any disorder (except dementia resulting from stroke, trauma, infections, or degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease) classified in the most current edition (at the start of the disability) of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association. Such disorders include, but are not limited to, psychotic, emotional, and behavioral disorders, and disorders related to stress and substance abuse or dependency. If the DSM is discontinued or replaced, the mental disorders covered by IDI will be those addressed by the diagnostic manual then in use by the American Psychiatric Association as of the start of a disability.
Rehabilitation Benefit: The Rehabilitation Benefit through the Individual Disability Insurance is entirely voluntary on your part. If Unum approves your proposed program of occupational rehabilitation in advance by written agreement, the expenses for such a program that are not already covered by another social or insurance program will be fully paid for by IDI.
