Common use of Subsequent Disability Clause in Contracts

Subsequent Disability. A subsequent disability unrelated to a previous illness, injury or condition shall be considered the same claim if it occurs while an employee is on an approved disability leave, pursuant to this policy. A subsequent unrelated disability that occurs following a previously requested disability leave benefit period shall be considered a new claim. A new waiting period must be served and sick leave time exhausted before the employee will be eligible to receive time loss weekly benefits. A related disability that occurs within one (1) year of a return to active work status will be considered the same disability claim. Benefits may be payable from the first day of the subsequent related disability for any weeks remaining from the initial period of approved time loss weekly benefit, up to a total maximum of 26 weeks. A related disability that occurs beyond one (1) year of a return to active work status will be considered a new disability claim. A new waiting period must be served and sick leave time exhausted before the employee will be eligible to receive a time loss weekly benefit.
