Security Benefits
Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance
TE Connectivity’s benefits program allows you to purchase additional life and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance for yourself as well as your eligible dependents. Any coverage you buy for yourself will be in addition to the Company-provided Basic Life and AD&D coverage you receive from TE Connectivity.
Short-Term Disability
TE Connectivity offers STD benefits at no cost for all employees who work a minimum of 20 hours a week, 48 weeks per year. If you are unable to work for an extended period of time due to a non-work related illness or injury, your STD coverage will provide a percentage of your base earnings rate, up to a maximum of 180 days.
- Employees are automatically enrolled.
- There is a waiting period of 7 consecutive calendar days beginning on the date your medical provider states you are totally disabled (including if you are on vacation at the time you become totally disabled). You will need to supplement the 7 days with accrued time off benefits.

Long-Term Disability
To supplement the company-provided STD coverage, you have the opportunity to purchase LTD coverage equal to 60% of your base salary (up to $15,000 per month). You and TE equally share in the cost for this coverage, and your portion of the cost is made on an after-tax basis. When you pay for LTD coverage with after-tax dollars, any benefits you receive from the Plan are free from federal, state and Social Security taxes. Benefits from any employer-paid portion of LTD coverage are subject to taxes.
- Enrollment is required if you want this coverage.
- If you decide to enroll for LTD coverage after you are first eligible, you will be required to show Evidence of Insurability to enroll and coverage is not guaranteed.
- No benefit will be payable under the LTD Plan for any disability resulting from a pre-existing condition, unless that disability begins after the last day of 365 consecutive days during which you have been continuously covered under the Plan.
- Please refer to the Long-Term Disability Certificate of Coverage available on My TE Benefits Connection at www.TEBenefits-US.com for details on limits or exclusions.
