1) If you ever have a concern with your claim you can appeal it to a CTA member-only based panel who will review your claim.
2) You are covered 24 hours a day, on or off the job for any accident, sickness, illness or injury.
3) There is a well baby program that either the member or their spouse, can access for maternity help.
4) If you become disabled, and you have any extra duty contracts, i.e., summer school, coaching, band, tutoring etc… with the district, that part of your salary will be calculated in your disability payment.
5) Once you have coverage with The Standard, you never have to notify The Standard to increase your coverage amount, The Standard takes care of it for you, so you are always covered for your current salary at time of disability.
6) Exclusion for pre-existing conditions is only 10 days after enrollment, rather than the usual 1 year time frame.
So how do you get more information and/or sign up with The Standard for disability insurance?
You can go to www.cta.org/mycta for more information (enrollment forms are also available at this site).
Or, if you prefer to speak with a representative in person, Paul Brunetta from The Standard, is scheduled to be at most of our sites throughout the month of October (see the schedule below). He can also be reached at 800-522-0406 or 707-322-2165.
Please note: If you want to switch from American Fidelity or any other provider, you need to fill out the "cancellation forms" that Paul can provide you, and turn one copy in with your application and give the other to Mt. Diablo Payroll Dept by 11/1/08.
