Employees (excluding temporary employees) working at least 20 hours per week are eligible. LTD coverage begins for exempt employees on the first of the month after 30 days of service. No application is needed. Classified employees may purchase LTD coverage after one year of service, or it is provided at no cost after completing five years of service.
When you reach one year of service, you will receive an email through OPUS with a 30-day deadline to enroll if desired. If you enroll within the next 30 days, no evidence of insurability is required. If you do not enroll by the end of 30 days and wish to enroll later (i.e. between your 13 month and 5 year anniversary), you will need to complete the UnitedHealthcare Long Term Disability Evidence of Insurability Form. On the form, the Employer Name is Pinellas County BOCC and the Group # is 306594.
