Short- and Long-term Disability

If you miss work because of your own illness or injury, you may be eligible for company-paid short-term disability (STD) benefits. The STD plan pays benefits of up to 100% of your base earnings for up to 60 days and 60% of your base earnings for days 61 through 90.

If your absence beyond 90 days is approved, you may be eligible for long-term disability (LTD) benefits. Benefits from the company-paid LTD plan equal 60% of your eligible monthly earnings, up to $25,000 per month.

To be eligible, you must apply for a medical leave of absence and your illness or injury must be medically approved by Amgen’s plan administrator.
