Group Long Term Disability Insurance
Trust GEBA - For Paycheck Protection If You Suffer A Disability
GEBA’s Group Long Term Disability (LTD) coverage with New York Life Insurance Company helps provide “active” Federal employees (excluding military) a portion of your monthly income if you become disabled due to a debilitating accident or illness and can no longer work.
Coverage Highlights: As a federal employee, you are not covered for LTD insurance for the first 18 months of your employment. With GEBA, you can select a 90 or 180-day waiting period. GEBA’s Group LTD plan provides tax-free* payments up to $7,500 per month (not to exceed 67% of gross monthly salary). Note: Coverage is unavailable in NH, ME, OR, VT.
- FERS employees receive 60% of your salary for the first year of disability (which is taxable), and 40% of your salary – until you are eligible for normal retirement.
- CSRS employees receive 40% of your salary (which is taxable) – until you are eligible for normal retirement.

How much will it cost?
Think the Government has you Covered?
GEBA vs. FERS
Even if you qualify, the FERS disability coverage you have as a government employee may not be enough if you suffer a long term disability.
Supplemental coverage from GEBA offers flexibility that may make sense.
Plus, GEBA also offers coverage for a working spouse/domestic partner, FERS does not. (GEBA member coverage is required)
