SHORT TERM INCOME
PROTECTION (STIP)
25
If
you become temporarily disabled,
you can receive up to 60% of your
monthly salary. Premiums are based
your monthly salary and length of
benefit (either 90 or 180 days).
WHAT IS STIP?
26
 Become
an HSTA member
 When
you sign up for STIP, the Trust will subsidize a
portion of the premium. The subsidy is up to $10.00
per month for qualifying members who elect to
cover 100% of the monthly gross salary.
HOW CAN I TAKE
ADVANTAGE
OF THIS OFFER?
27
For Example:
Chris is a 25 year old teacher
who is pregnant. She only has
14 days sick leave. Chris does
not have enough sick leave,
so she would be taking leave
without pay.
28
Continue Example:
Can you imagine? Not having income while
out of work can cause financial stress. If you
depend on your paycheck for your daily
living expenses; you should consider shortterm income protection plan that will help
pay your basic expenses while you are
temporarily disabled. It is a valuable
protection against the “what ifs” in life.
29
WHAT WILL IT COST?
 The
premium cost is based on your monthly salary
and the plan length.
30
PREMIUM CALCULATION
Using this example,
 Monthly
 Length
gross salary: $3,000.00
of coverage: Plan 1 (90 days)
 Selected
monthly disability benefit: 60%
(maximum %) of monthly gross salary or
$1800.00 per month.
$25.56 Per Month
31
PREMIUM FOR CHRIS
Monthly Premium: $25.56
Less the subsidy: ( 10.00)*
Chris would only pay: $15.56 per month for her STIP
coverage.
*The HSTA VEBA Trust will subsidize up to $10.00 per
month for qualifying members who elect to
cover the maximum % of the monthly gross
salary.
32
CHRIS’ TOTAL COST & BENEFIT
In summary, Chris will only pay
$15.56 per month and receive both
the Short Term Income Protection
Plan and the Long Term Care Base
Plan.

LTC CALCULATION EXAMPLE:
Current Age: 29
Plan: 5
Monthly Facility Benefit Amount: $5,000.00
Facility Benefit Duration: 3 years
Formula:
Rate for plan chosen x Facility Monthly Benefit
Amount /500 = Monthly Premium
$2.30 x $5,000.00/500 = 11,500/500 =
$23.00 per month
42
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THAT SAME
COVERAGE WOULD BE IF YOU WERE
TO WAIT 30 YEARS LATER TO APPLY
FOR IT?
43
IF YOU WAIT 30 YEARS, THAT SAME
COVERAGE WOULD COST YOU
$60.50 MORE PER MONTH OR
$726.00 MORE PER YEAR.
THAT IS ABOUT A 261% INCREASE;
YOU WOULD PAY 4X MORE IF YOU
WAIT.

LTC CALCULATION EXAMPLE:

Amount /500 = Monthly Premium
$8.35 x $5,000.00/500 = 41,750/500 =
$83.50 per month
45
CALCULATION COMPARISON
Formula: Age 29
Rate for plan chosen x Facility Monthly Benefit
Amount /500 = Monthly Premium
$2.30 x $5,000.00/500 = 11,500/500 = $23.00
Formula: Age 59

Amount /500 = Monthly Premium
$8.35 x $5,000.00/500 = 41,750/500 = $83.50

CONCLUSION
If you have the extra income, you should
consider LTC coverage. And if not, just sign
up for the Basic Life Insurance for $1.50 per
month and get the LTC Base Plan for no
additional cost to you.
