Voluntary Short-Term Disability with Paid Family Leave 

This plan is designed for employees who do NOT pay into CA State Disability Insurance Tax (CA/SDI) through their paycheck.

The County of San Diego offers Voluntary Short-Term Disability Insurance with Paid Family Leave, administered by Lincoln Financial Group (LFG).

Short-Term Disability (STD)

When a non-work-related illness or injury makes it impossible for you to work for a short period of time, STD guards you against financial loss and helps protect your income.

  • Participate in a qualifying event because of a family member’s military deployment

This enhancement is designed to be similar to the Paid Family Leave benefit that is provided through the CA/SDI program.

Why Short-Term Disability (STD) Insurance?

STD insurance can help financially protect you and your loved ones if you miss work due to sickness, injury, surgery or recovery from childbirth.

Here’s how it works:

First, you use sick leave or paid time off to cover the elimination period (a set timeframe based on your policy). After that, you receive a portion of your weekly salary as a cash benefit to help ease the financial burden while you’re away from work.

What can the money be used for?

Most anything – from groceries to mortgage payments and everything in-between – until you return to work or your coverage period ends.
