Vocational Specialist Helps Get CTA Members Back to Work after Disabilities
Don Earwood has been a vocational case manager with The Standard for more than 25 years. In his role, Don helps get CTA members back to work after a disability, and he facilitates any adjustments that he determines need to be made to their workspaces.
"I work with our claim analysts and examiners to see if we can help members who want to return to work," Don explained. "If someone has the desire and capacity to return to work on even a part-time basis, there may be some accommodations that we could help with so the person can then evolve into working on a full-time basis."

Don't Miss This Special Enrollment Opportunity
If you're a newly hired CTA member this year, you may be eligible for a special, limited-time opportunity to apply for CTA-endorsed Disability and Life Insurance from Standard Insurance Company (The Standard).

You can also apply for Disability Insurance, which can help with the everyday bills like your mortgage and utilities, that continue even when you can't work -- expenses that health insurance won't cover. The CTA-endorsed Disability Insurance plan was specially designed to address the gaps in coverage that many California educators face.
