Thank you! Had to hunt down the outlet with the switch, in a bathroom that I don't use that often. Let there be light!

I'm almost embarrassed to admit how long it took me to figure out the bathroom plugs here were interconnected. Oddly (at least to me?) only one of the bathrooms had the GFCI plug with reset buttons.

Anyone been on short Term disability?

Says it’s 67% of salary but is tax free. So almost a wash?
Do you cease to get employer benefits? Like drugs and dental and stuff?

I havent personally, but I have dealt with many people who have...there are a lot of different factors that play into that.

Its tough to say anything without a fair degree of specifics.

It’s tax free if you pay the premiums after-tax (which is generally how those are setup). And it’s that 2/3 wage should that you essentially net the same while you’re on claim as when you’re working. The benefits you have would generally still be in force because you’re still an employee at that point.

I was for one month a few years ago after a minor (but horrifying) medical procedure.

I didn’t need to use my benefits during that time, but if you’re at a decent sized company and have an HR person / department that should be an easy question for them.

Yeah apparently that is the code now - they only put the reset button in one of the bathrooms. I went through the same thing a few years ago trying to figure out how to reset.

Can you pull from more than on policy ?

I still have STD and LTD policies from my company but also have coverage through my employer.

Anyone remember Ride Guide TV? It used to be exclusively snowboarding in the 90's, I even hosted a couple episodes (throws), around 2003.

It was actually pretty rad in the mid 90's with the "Reel Riders", a couple dudes, critiquing VHS sponsor me tapes? Todd (party-Todd) Bowman and some Greg guy. Canmore realtor, Rob Stevens had regular cameos too.

Oddly, I didn't smoke a bunch of weed, recalling this.

Still curious as to if you can claim on two separate policies.
