The Diocese of Raleigh provides Long Term Disability (LTD) insurance for ALL employees working 30 hours or more per week. Long Term Disability insurance is provided to ensure partial salary continuation should an eligible employee become disabled while employed with the Diocese of Raleigh. The Diocese of Raleigh does NOT provide a short-term disability plan.
Enrollment
Enrollment in the Long Term Disability plan is done at the time of enrollment for medical/dental benefits on the CBEBT Request for Group Coverage/Enrollment Form.
If an eligible employee waives coverage for medical and/or dental benefits, they will still be enrolled in the Diocese of Raleigh Long Term Disability plan.
Salary Increases
Increases in an employee's salary must be reported to CBEBT using the Address/Salary Change Form in order for the value of an employee's LTD benefit to be correct. CBEBT will report the increase to Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company.
Filing a Long-Term Disability Claim
All claims for LTD benefits must be handled through the Benefits Office at the Catholic Center. There is a 90-day waiting period for LTD benefits to begin. Please contact Nancy von Gunten, Benefits Administrator at (919)821-9775 if an eligible employee needs to claim a disability.
All correspondence and completion of forms with the employee will be handled directly from the Benefits Office.
Long Term Disability benefits are administered by Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company and eligibility for benefits is determined solely by their review board.
If an employee is approved for LTD benefits, Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company will waive the premiums for the value of the employee's life insurance at the time of disability.
