The employer is obligated to follow its own written policy about employees out on short-term disability leave. The employer cannot, for example, pay for the president's health insurance when she is out on STD leave and then not pay for the entry-level clerk's health insurance when he is out on STD leave. If the employer does not have a written policy, then all employees who take a disability leave should be treated the same.
PA does not have a state run disability program.You may have coverage through a private policy. In that case you need to read your policy's language regarding disability when unemployed or when your income drops.

You have to check into Social Security disability, if you don't have your own disability insurance (individual policy, or through your employer); It is recommended that you get your own Disability Insurance policy if your employer does not offer such benefits.

We have a personal Disability Insureanc Policy for my husband. He is currently working on commission and is about to undergo knee replacement surgery. Can he get benefits from both his employer and our personal policy?
if your long term disability is integrated with social security disability, then yes. This is the case for most employer paid long term disability plans, or your employee benefits package. If the Long-Term DI policy is an individual plan, not through your employer - you could receive the full base benefit if it's not integraded with Social Security Disability Benefits.
Not specifically for a long term disability, but you can collect if you have a terminal illness.
If I am reading the question correctly you are asking how much you would collect on disability on a group claim. The answer to that would be on your employers policy. Every policy is differant for each employer. Some companies will pay out 100% of your pay will others may only pay 50%, 60%, 70% and so on, you would need to ask your employer
There are two ways that a person can receive Disability benefits: from Social Security and/or from an employer or individual Disability policy. If your employer does not provide Disability insurance coverage and you do not have your own individual Disability coverage, you will not be able to receive disability benefits, unless you live in a state that has a state-sponsored plan. In order to receive benefits from a Disability policy, you must actually own one or have coverage through your employer. Additionally you must satisfy the requirements of the contract in order to receive benefits. Social Security benefits only pay benefits on disabilities that are expected to last longer than 1 year or end in death, so you would not qualify for Social Security benefits.
Yes, and it's recommended to add supplemental disability insurance to cover closer to 100% of your income. If you have disability insurance through your employer, your benefit will be capped at 66% of your income. The benefit received from a group disability policy (through your employer) is taxable. Supplemental disability insurance benefits are not taxable. You can add Catastrophic rider on an individual disability insurance policy, to cover up to 100% of your income in combination with your existing employer group DI.
A group life insurance policy is an employee benefit program. The employer is the contract holder, and the lives of the employees are insured. If the employee leaves the company the coverage may or may not be convertible to an individual policy (one owned by the former employee, rather than the employer).
