Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance

The County of San Diego offers Short and Long-Term Disability plans, administered by Lincoln Financial Group. Eligibility for plans is based on whether or not an employee pays into CA State SDI as well as job classification.

How do I know which plans I am eligible for?

  • Review your Flex Credit/Benefit Summary based on your union code.  Disability information can be found on page 3 of your summary.
  • Login to PeopleSoft Self Service on your work computer and look at your paystub.
    • In the Taxes section of your paycheck, you will see a deduction for “CA OASDI/EE” if you pay into CA SDI.
    • In the Employer Paid Benefits section of your paycheck, you will see a deduction for “Long Term Disability” if you have the County paid LTD plan.

Short-Term Disability

The Short Term Disability plans are designed separately for employees who pay into CA State Disability Insurance Tax (SDI) through their paycheck, and for those who do not pay this tax.  

Long-Term Disability

There are two Long-Term Disability plans offered, based on job classification.
