What if I have a lot of sick leave and my employer continues to pay my sick leave longer than the 60-day waiting period?
By law, you must exhaust all accumulated sick leave before your SURS disability can begin. Therefore, if your sick leave lasts longer than 60 days, your disability benefit will begin to accrue immediately following your last day of paid sick leave, assuming you remain disabled. Law does not require you to exhaust your vacation before benefits can begin; however, please check with your Benefits Office regarding their policies.
