IBI Data Offers Solutions to Help Employers Manage Short-term Disability

Benefits duration limits are not the best tool to quickly and safely return employees to work

SAN FRANCISCO (Vocus) June 1, 2010 -- In this tough economic climate employers have a strong interest in limiting unnecessary time that an employee may be out of work for a short-term disability (STD). To better understand how to help employers reduce lost work time, wage replacements and lost productivity, the non-profit Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI) analyzed data from its 2008 benchmarking program on durations of STD claims and plan design for over 470,000 claims and released the findings and employer recommendations today.

The analysis found that even for STD plan designs with eligibility periods as short as 13 weeks, most claims resolve well before benefits expire, and claims with different maximum durations had very similar median lost work days. These results suggest that the duration of benefits eligibility does not contribute greatly to the timing of an employee's termination of benefits.
