Meriden will cover voluntary short‑term disability premium for employees
Summary
Council voted 4-0 to have the City pay a $123.09 monthly Voluntary Short‑Term Disability premium; the policy would provide benefits beginning day 1 for injury and day six for illness.
The Meriden City Council agreed to cover the monthly premium for a Voluntary Short‑Term Disability (VSTD) policy after staff presented the plan’s benefit start dates and cost. The policy as described would begin coverage 'on day 1' for injury and 'on day six' for illness and carries a monthly premium of $123.09. Councilmember Brian Smith moved and BJ Whiteman seconded that the City pay the $123.09 premium; the motion passed 4-0 (Keith Steele absent).
Council did not change the benefit triggers but recorded the start‑of‑benefits timing and the premium amount for 2026. The Finance/HR office was assigned to implement premium payments and reflect the cost in the upcoming budget review.
