How to Privatize TDB in New Jersey
Privatizing temporary disability benefits in New Jersey is easier than ever before, and EZTDB is here to help if you need assistance along the way.
First, visit the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development Division of Employer Accounts and create an Employer Access account (formerly called TWES). Within the portal, employers can find their AC174.1 form required to get a quote for a TDB private plan. The form details employer contributions to TDB and the employer’s final disability rate.
Along with this information, we’ll need the number of lives, male and female, and their salaries, within the organization. From there, an EZTDB representative can quote your private plan from a top-rated carrier.
You may be able to save even more money by bundling ancillary benefits life dental, vision, and group life / AD&D coverage with their temporary disability benefits in New Jersey. Only 2% of business owners in New Jersey are taking advantage of this insurance “hack” to reduce their premiums and save money on a statutory benefit.
