Please encourage members with Income Continuation Insurance (ICI) Program coverage who have become disabled to file an ICI claim as soon as possible after their last day worked. The effective date of an ICI benefit can be no earlier than 90 days before the claim is filed. If the member waits to file a claim, they may miss out on benefits. 

Please also note that a claim filed more than 12 months after the member’s last day in pay status will be denied.

State statutes and the ICI plan language do not require an employee who has a job-related injury or illness to file for workers’ compensation prior to filing a claim for ICI benefits. Employees who file a workers’ compensation claim should also file an ICI claim as soon as possible. They should not wait until they have a workers’ compensation determination.
