How long does short-term disability last?

Short-term disability lasts 3 to 6 months, but this greatly depends on the company. Short-term disability can also be as low as 30 days, but this is uncommon. There are even some short-term disability periods that can last for a year. It all depends on what specific disability insurance plan you are using.

Short-term disability lasts until someone is ready and able to return to work. This is often determined through regular visits to a physician and monitoring from a team. Short-term disability is typically provided through a workforce. It is often mandatory for businesses to have short-term disability insurance.
