Health insurance pays your doctor. Disability insurance pays you. Disability benefits are paid directly to you if you’re unable to work due to:
· Injury
· Illness (including mental health disorders and substance abuse)
· Pregnancy and childbirth
Standard Insurance Company (The Standard) is the only CTA-endorsed provider of Disability and Life insurance. These plans were designed with California educators’ needs in mind. CTA has partnered with Standard Insurance Company to bring CTA members a special enrollment opportunity for the CTA-endorsed Disability insurance and Life insurance. Eligible CTA members can get guaranteed enrollment with no health questions asked. This opportunity lasts from October 1 – November 30, 2023.
SDEA members can find more details or apply online at www.standard.com/cta/justforyou. You must be a member of SDEA in order to enroll in The Standard, so make sure to join your union now!
