If a member has been on a health leave for at least 30 days, submit the necessary information to HOOPP in order to let HOOPP know that you have placed the member on an employer-approved health leave. If a member returns to work permanently (or for longer than a 3 week period) before the 15 week qualifying period has been reached, submit the necessary information to HOOPP and end the leave on the date the member returned to work.
Members on an employer-approved health leave who are totally and permanently disabled may apply for a HOOPP disability pension at any time; they do not have to wait until the end of the 15 week qualifying period. If a member indicates that they are interested in applying for a disability pension before the end of the 15-week qualifying period or requests any information about HOOPP’s disability benefits please ask them to contact HOOPP directly. |
