Rep Power: 364 | short term disabilty Sunday I had an ATV accident and fractured my wrist. doc says i will be out for probably 6 weeks. this sucks because it is around the holidays and money is going to be tight. a coworker told me the union will pay out a ST disability benefit of about $250 a week. does anyone know if this is true? |

Call your union hall.

I think I got $554 after FICA tax.

STdisbility is $250/week | Let me check-No, I'm not confused. I just got off disability in June. LTD through Metlife/UPS is $500 max right now but I think it will go up with the new contract. Perhaps it's different around the country based on cost of living-who knows.
