Once you have used all your paid leave and have missed at least 160 hours of work due to a catastrophic illness or injury you may qualify for sick leave granted through sick leave pool.

Sick leave pool hours can only be used after the date of approval.

If you run out of leave before the sick leave pool application and/ or medical certification form is provided it will result in a leave without pay status.

(Sick leave pool hours cannot be granted for absences related to maternity or worker’s compensation cases.) 

If you become disabled, your premiums for Basic and Optional Life may be paid by the A&M system. 

To qualify you must be actively employed, younger than 60 and able to submit proof of your total disability.

If you have Long-Term Disability (LTD) you may qualify for benefits; if you have a serious health condition that keeps you from being able to perform your job for more than 90 days.

If you are approved for LTD you would be eligible to receive up to 65% of your base salary.

If you are receiving income from other sources the minimum payment received would be $100.00 per month.

If permanently disabled you could request that your monthly premium be waived.
