Long Term Disability | LTD

  • What is it? Long-Term Disability (LTD) is insurance that protects an employee from loss of income if he or she is unable to work due to illness, injury, or accident for a long time.
  • Do I have it? Benefit-eligible employees are automatically enrolled in one of the State’s two LTD programs. Employee participation is mandatory. 
    • Arizona State Retirement System members contribute 15% each pay period.
    • Non-ASRS retirement system members have coverage paid by their employer.
  • Where am I enrolled? The employee's retirement system determines the LTD plan enrollment. Please see your retirement plan below to learn more.
