Maine Perspective 3 It's Classified

This column focuses on topics of interest to classified employees. Questions and/or suggestions for future columns may be addressed to: Kathleen Gaede, 123 East Annex.

What is the Income Protection Plan? Participation in this plan will provide benefits to you for the most likely kinds of injuries or sickness (non-occupational). The IPP pays after a 14-day waiting period, and gives you up to 26 weeks of benefits, as long as you are disabled, helping to fill an income gap you may have during the first, expensive part of a disability. The IPP provides a weekly paycheck to you during your period of disability, the amount of the check depending on the income class you are in and the monthly benefit you select. Use the following table to figure out your income class, the available monthly benefit and the biweekly deduction for which you would be responsible: Annual Earnings Avail. Monthly Benefit Biweekly Deductions Class 1 up to $7,200 $100 - 200 - 300 $100/mo. $.99 Class 2 $ 7,201- 9,000 200 - 300 - 400 200/mo. 1.98 Class 3 $9,001-10,800 300 - 400 - 500 300/mo. 2.97 Class 4 $10,801-12,600 400 - 500 - 600 400/mo. 3.96 Class 5 $12,601-14,400 500 - 600 - 700 500/mo. 4.95 Class 6 $14,401-16,200 600 - 700 - 800 600/mo. 5.94 Class 7 $16,201-18,000 700 - 800 - 900 700/mo. 6.93 Class 8 $18,001* and over 800 - 900 - 1,000 800/mo. 7.92 900/mo. 8.91 1000/mo. 9.90 * Note: This figure, while different from the one listed in correspondence to classified employees last week, is the correct one. The GroupAmerica Insurance Co., is used for the University of Maine System’s Income Protection Plan. (Note: 1) Workers’ Compensation covers occupational disability - injuries on the job or sickness arising from your job; 2) The University of Maine System provides Long Term Disability which provides protection for sickness or injury after a six-month waiting period. There are no premiums for Long Term Disability protection, which is a University-paid benefit; 3) During short term disability, it is permissible to be paid from both the Income Protection Plan as well as the University payroll if you have accrued enough sick leave to earn a paycheck during a disability.)

Tell me more about the open enrollment. You may enroll in the IPP during January, with no Evidence of Insurability. Insurance will begin Feb. 1. You may choose one of the three available monthly benefit amounts shown for your income class indicated above. The biweekly premiums will be deducted beginning with the first pay period after enrollment or change in level of coverage. The IPP policy requires that you be insured for at least the minimum amount within your class. The forms to enroll in the Income Protection Plan (or to change your level of coverage) are available in the Benefits Office, 125 East Annex. Call Mavis Hussey, x2360, if you need further infor mation about his benefit available to classified employees.
