    Nix on investments but everything else is fair game!

    Once you qualify through Aetna for STD pay, you are eligible for 26 weeks of pay. You receive 100% for approximately (and you can find the exact length of time on Flagscape) 12 weeks and then 80% for the remaining time. The first seven days (or five working days) are financed by either sick time or vacation time and then the remaining time you have to be out is paid by Short Term Disability. If you are going to be out of work longer than the 26 weeks, look into Long Term Disability or other programs.
    Good luck, Mary, and I hope everything works out well for you.

      i have grandfather sick time and they are using my grandfather sick time for weeks 2 throuh 11 at 40 hours a week I have 500 plus hours. Now that i'm being paid at 70% i could use my grandfather sicktime to make up the difference 30% but they have all been exhausted. Should I get a lawyer?

      With grandfathered sick time involved, I'm not sure of the details. Have you contacted HR or Aetna for a comprehensive explanation? I would advise doing that first and asking for the explanation in writing.
