Supplemental Individual Disability Insurance

Full-time exempt employees earning an annual income of $100,000 or more are eligible for Supplemental Individual Disability Insurance (IDI). In combination with the Group Long Term Disability Plan, an IDI policy provides up to 75% replacement of your covered earnings in the event of disability due to illness or injury. Premiums (discounted by 25%) are paid through payroll deduction. Annual enrollment specific to this benefit typically occurs in the second quarter of the year.

If you are enrolled in Supplemental IDI coverage ​and you leave Motorola Solutions, please note:

  • ​Your IDI benefit is portable.
  • Premiums are guaranteed to not increase unless there is an increase in coverage.
