This is OP. I’ve had short and long term disability in every private sector job that I’ve had. Sure, I paid for it, but it was one of the options that I could sign up for during onboarding and I elected to sign up for it. With this job, there was no short or long term disability offered. I even asked HR about it and they said they didn’t offer it. I asked a financial planner at one point about buying a policy separately and she said I needed 3 months of savings, and there was a leave bank, and then after that there was disability retirement if I need it. She said I didn’t need short or long term disability insurance as a federal employee. That was bad advice. There’s a HUGE gap between the end of your sick and annual leave and what you get from the leave bank and when you can or need to take disability retirement. And fed gov has no plan for employees in that gap. [/quote]
