Short Term Disability is up to how many weeks?

• A. 12 weeks
• B. 24 weeks
• C. 36 weeks
• D. 52 weeks

Answer: (B)

Short Term Disability provides income replacement for a temporary illness or injury, and the benefit period is capped at a short, finite duration. The typical maximum is six months, which equals 24 weeks, so 24 weeks is the standard limit used in many plans. That’s why this duration is the correct choice. Longer durations, like 36 or 52 weeks, belong to long-term disability or other leave policies, not short-term disability.
