Disability benefits are payable for a maximum period of two years.
The deadline to file for benefits is 20 days from your last day worked. Either the Department of Administrative Services or your own state agency may determine your eligibility for benefits based on information from your physician. You will receive your disability check on the next available normal state pay day. You may choose to use available accumulated leave time, such as sick, vacation or personal leave, to supplement these benefits to receive 100 percent of your usual pay. The state will pay your share and the state's share of your health insurance premiums during the approved disability period.
