TriNet offers access to several short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) coverage options through The Hartford.

LTD plans have a pre-existing condition exclusion if during the 3 months before coverage is effective the worksite employee were diagnosed or treated, received diagnostic or treatment services or took drugs prescribed or recommended by a physician for an illness, injury or pregnancy-related condition. The plan does not pay benefits for a disability that is caused, or contributed to, by a pre-existing condition if the disability starts within the first 12 months after LTD coverage goes into effect.
