Short-Term Disability (STD)

Veolia’s Short-Term Disability Policy is administered by Lincoln Financial. Eligible employees are automatically enrolled for company-paid short-term disability. This document will walk you through the steps on how to report a disability claim to Lincoln Financial. Please contact Lincoln Financial Group at 844-247-4446 or online at www.MyLincolnPortal.com to file a claim.

When Do I Report a Claim/Leave?

Your own serious illness, disability, or maternity leave: You may report a claim up to 30 days in advance of a
planned disability absence OR as soon as you are aware that you will be disabled due to illness or injury for 7 or
more calendar days.
Your family member’s serious illness, military leave, or your own intermittent leave: You may report a leave
when you will be out of work for more than 3 consecutive days or intermittently to care for an immediate family
member suffering a serious illness or to care for a newborn, foster or adopted child.
