Section 12:18-2.9 - Minimum plan requirements

(a) Each private plan, in order to secure Division approval, shall provide to the employees covered thereby rights equal at least to those set forth in N.J.S.A. 43:21-37 to N.J.S.A. 43:21-42 inclusive, by assuring that:

1. The private plan shall cover all employees, except as provided elsewhere in this chapter, for any disability commencing while the plan is in effect.

2. Eligibility requirements for benefits shall be no more restrictive than those requirements for benefits payable under the State plan.

3. Except as provided for in N.J.A.C. 12:18-2.1 0 (Concurrent coverage) of this chapter, the benefits payable to each employee covered thereunder shall be at least equal, in both weekly amount and duration, to those which would be payable to the employee under the State plan, but for his or her inclusion in the private plan.

(b) An employer may provide temporary disability insurance benefits through a plan established solely for the administration of benefits required pursuant to the Temporary Disability Benefits Law, N.J.S.A. 43:21-25 et seq., or through a multi-benefit plan; provided, however, that, if the multi-benefit plan does not comply with all of the provisions of the New Jersey Temporary Disability Benefits Law, the employer shall establish a separate plan, maintained solely for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the law.
