Health insurance pays your doctor. Disability insurance pays you. Disability benefits are paid directly to you if you’re unable to work due to:
· Injury
· Illness (including mental health disorders and substance abuse)
· Pregnancy and childbirth
Standard Insurance Company (The Standard) is the only CTA-endorsed provider of Disability and Life insurance. These plans were designed with California educators’ needs in mind.
