Local 587 Short-Term Disability Policy (PDF)
(Full-Time Employees Only)
KC Metro Part-Time Benefit Plans
The
following information is provided to help you
understand the basics of the two plans that became
effective January 1, 2006.
You become eligible for the Partial-Benefits
Plan the first of the month following your qualification
or hire date (whichever is later). If your qualification
or hire date is the first of the month, you become
eligible the same day. Under the Partial-Benefits
Plan, you may purchase medical, dental and vision
coverage for you and the eligible family members
you enroll (the employee’s medical coverage
is partially subsidized by the county). If you
select medical, you will receive fully paid basic
life, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D)
and long term disability insurance (LTD), and
you may purchase enhanced life and AD&D for
you and your family and enhanced long-term disability
for you (this does not apply if you have previously
declined enhanced life and enhanced LTD).
You become eligible for the Full-Benefits Plan
in any of the following ways:
| • |
You picked 4 or more hours in
the 2006 Summer shakeup (fully-paid benefits
begin the first day of the month you work
the 4 or more hour assignment and extend through
December 31, 2006)

| • |
You pick 4 or more hours in the 2006 Fall
shakeup (fully-paid benefits begin October

2007 through Summer 2009 (fully-paid benefits

Under the full-benefits plan, you receive county-paid
medical, dental and vision coverage for you and
the eligible family members you enroll, plus basic
life, AD&D and LTD insurance for you. When
you first enroll, you may also purchase additional
enhanced life and AD&D for you and your family
members, plus enhanced LTD for you.
