    What’s next for private plans in Oregon and Colorado?

    Oregon and Colorado are the next two states developing paid family and medical leave (PFML) programs with private plan options. In this episode of Lincoln Absence Advisor, we explore where each state stands, what we know about their private plan processes, and what employers should consider when deciding whether to opt for a private plan. Lincoln leave professionals will also help employers who have chosen a private plan focus on what needs to be done now, what’s coming next, and what remains to be decided by each state.  Resources mentioned: Episode 46 - State vs. private plans: Conversations and considerations © 2022 Lincoln National Corporation.

    How supplemental health, leave, and disability work together to protect income and savings

    Over half of current bankruptcies are due to medical bills. It takes a combination of benefits — health insurance, along with disability, leave, and supplemental health including accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity — to be prepared for and prevent devasting financial impacts. During this episode of Lincoln Absence Advisor, our benefits professionals discuss how supplemental health coverage can combine with disability and leave coverage to support on family needs, protect savings and income, and decrease financial stress that may interfere with a timely recovery and return to work.  Resources:  David U.

    Exploring the interactive process

    In this Lincoln Absence Advisor episode, we look at how employers use the interactive process as a standardized framework to find accommodations for employees with disabilities and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Although not formally required, the interactive process is a best practice that helps employers track accommodations and denials, measure effectiveness, and ensure equitable handling of all requests. Members of Lincoln’s product and return-to-work teams help define the process and answer common employer questions. We’ll hear how using the interactive process can result in less liability and more cost-effective accommodations while improving employer retention and morale.  Resources: Lincoln’s Interactive Process Guide | Job Accommodation Network (JAN) | U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) © 2022 Lincoln National Corporation.
