Short term and long term disabiliy (NJ)

Does anyone know anything about short and long-term disability in NJ? It would be for an injury not on the job, pulled out of work by doctors. I know you have to exhaust sick time (maybe not a state policy, but it is where I work) and I know short term is only 6 weeks. Someone mentioned long term paid disabilily to be but said they only heard of it and knew nothing about it. I am familiar with FMLA.

  • In my experience it depends on your company's policy and whether you pay into STD and LTD.

  • State employee. We pay into Temporary Disability Ins and Family Leave. Unless long term is incorporated into something else.
  • I had to pay into LTD to be eligible. I worked in NJ.

    When I went out on mat leave, I did get a small check every 2 weeks as part of a payroll tax for "disability". That might be something to look into.

    Do you not have an HR person to discuss this with?

    Tried. Failed. Not helpful.

  • NJ's STD is 26 weeks.  The state website should have details.

     For LTD, you'd only have that if your employer offered it.

    Hmm.. Someone told me 6 weeks. Time to check that out. Thanks!
