UC Disability Benefits
Your disability benefits provide income to replace lost wages.
UC Paid Basic Disability
The plan provides up to 55 percent of your eligible monthly earnings, to a maximum benefit of $800 per month, for up to six months. You will be covered after a 14-calendar-day waiting period, but you are required to use up to 22 business days of sick time, if available, before disability benefits begin. UC pays the full cost of coverage, and you are automatically enrolled. Your Basic Disability income is generally taxable.
