The Administrative Policy: Paid Medical Leave and Disability Benefits for Faculty and Academic Professional and Administrative Employees has been revised. The purpose of this revision is to reflect the change in the University disability vendor. All references to The Standard have been replaced with generic disability vendor language that links to the Employee Benefits web site that contains specific information about the new vendor, Cigna. The change in vendor occurs January 1, 2012. Be sure to destroy any documents/materials referring to The Standard that you may have in print form.

Additional information and instructions for completing a claim can be found at the link below. Please contact your CLA HR Consultant when a medical issue has arisen for any member of your department.
