Disability

Sometimes the unexpected happens—and if it does, we want you to be protected financially. These benefits are here to give you and your family financial security and peace of mind.

Short-term disability and long-term disability replace a portion of your income if you're unable to work because of an illness or injury. Crown Castle provides short-term disability and long-term disability at no cost to you. You can purchase additional long-term disability at group rates on an after-tax basis.
