Disability Insurance
Through the Church Pension Group, the Diocese of Iowa offers short-term disability insurance for lay employees, and long-term disability for both lay and clergy employees.
Short-Term Disability Insurance
Short-term coverage replaces lost income for up to a year of disability, allowing parishes and other church organizations to hire temporary help while the cleric or lay employee recovers. (Active clergy are automatically enrolled in the Short-Term Disability plan as a pension benefit.)Long-Term Disability Insurance
Long-term benefits pick up when the short-term plan expires. They continue until the employee is able to work again, reaches age 65, or longer in some cases.
Employers may provide this group benefit in full, or employees may purchase it on their own. For more information, visit www.cpg.org or contact the diocesan office at 515-277-6165 or diocese@iowaepiscopal.org.
