Long Term Disability Insurance

The American Conference of Cantors sponsors a Voluntary Long Term Disability (LTD) group insurance plan for ACC members. 

Voluntary Long Term Disability pays a portion of your earnings if you cannot work due to a disability. Premiums are based on your annual earnings and your age. Ages are grouped into five year "age bands" and rates may change when you reach a new age band (age 35-39, 40-44, 45-49 are examples of age bands). Annual earnings are to include both salary and parsonage.
