To qualify for benefits, you must be disabled from performing the duties of your own occupation for 119 consecutive calendar days from the date of disability and an employee of:

  • Executive Government (excluding SGEU members);
  • several crown corporations; and
  • various agencies, boards and commissions.

The qualifying period may also be on a non-consecutive basis if 85 working days are missed due to the same condition but you are able to work intermittently.

During this qualifying period you may be on:

  • sick leave,
  • vacation leave,
  • Employment Insurance (EI) Sickness Benefits, or
