The Duke University Disability Program provides you with income if you are unable to work due to a disability beyond a certain amount of time, called a benefit waiting period. Your benefits will replace up to 60% of your base salary until you are eligible to retire or you can no longer show proof of your disability. Duke pays the entire cost of the plan.
