Long-Term Disability -2023
We are excited to share news about changes to our long-term disability (LTD) insurance. These changes have resulted in lower premiums for current participants and for eligible employees who wish to join the plan during a special enrollment period this coming spring.
Effective January 1, 2023, The Tennessee Board of Regents will be contracting with Reliance Standard to provide the employee LTD insurance program. Plan designs will match the current plans offered by Lincoln Financial, however premiums with Reliance Standard are 22 percent lower.
Employees enrolled in the Lincoln LTD policy as of January 1 will be rolled over to the same plan level within the Reliance Standard program on January 1 without a loss of benefits or gap in coverage.
Employees not enrolled in the Lincoln LTD policy as of January 1 will be able to participate in the Reliance Standard program following an open enrollment this spring. Dates for the special enrollment period will be announced later this year.
To avoid confusion, Lincoln and Reliance Standard will not be present at this fall’s benefit fairs.
More details will be shared as they become available.
