Under OOIDA's Voluntary Group Short Term Disability Plan you are covered for Total Disability Benefits for up to 52 weeks per occurrence, should illness or injury prevent you from working.  This plan gives you 24-hour coverage, so you will be protected both on and off the job.

Unlike other disability plans which calculate benefits as a percentage of your earnings, the OOIDA Voluntary Group Short Term Disability Plan pays you a flat weekly benefit. There is a $400 maximum weekly benefit if you are under age 70 and a $200 maximum weekly benefit if you are between ages 70-75. (This plan will offset with other income benefit plans).

New OOIDA members can get this plan - GUARANTEED ISSUE (within 60 days of membership effective date)

  • No health questions asked

  • Regardless of your health, coverage is guaranteed

  • No approval necessary

Two Plan Options Available

There are two plan options available to you:

Option 1 has a 30-day waiting period before benefits begin.  This option is available at the low price of $77.75 per month.

Option 2 has a 60-day waiting period and is only $64.15 per month.

$25,000 Accidental Death Benefit

In addition to protection for loss of income due to illness and injury, the plan also includes a $25,000 benefit for accidental death.

This 24/7 support network manages medical, legal, informational, personal and security services to ensure that you have access to the best possible care anywhere in the world.

Identity Theft Resolution Service
