Short-Term Disability
Frontdoor provides short-term disability to full-time associates at no cost after six months of employment.
For illness-related claims, benefits begin after a seven-day waiting period following claim submission. Benefits may begin sooner for accidents or childbirth.
- Six months – five years of employment: covered at 60% of your annual earnings
- Five years or more: covered at 80% of annual earnings
There is a maximum weekly benefit of $15,000 and short-term disability pays out up to a maximum of 13 weeks.
Pre-existing condition exclusions may apply.
Long-Term Disability*
Full-time associates are automatically enrolled after six-months of service at 50% of earnings coverage. You have three options:
- Waive LTD coverage
- Remain in the auto-enrolled 50% coverage level
- Increase your benefit amount to 60% of your monthly earnings
Be aware that LTD has a maximum benefit of $15,000 per month.
If you enroll after your introductory period (at 6 months after hire), you will need to complete a health questionnaire for eligibility.
* If you submit a claim, there is a ninety-eight-day waiting period from your initial start date of illness or injury to access the benefit. Pre-existing condition exclusions may apply.
