The premiums for the coverage you select will be deducted from each paycheck during the year. The Retirement Savings Program provides the opportunity to make pre-tax contributions to an annuity or mutual fund savings account for retirement. These extra retirement savings are designed to provide an important supplement to pension plans and Social Security retirement benefits. There is a four week waiting period before disability benefits become payable after the onset of a disability and benefits are payable up to a maximum of four months following the onset of disability. This is a voluntary program that employees can choose to purchase.
