NJ TDB: Temporary Disability Benefits in New Jersey
Did you know that 98 percent of NJ TDB policies are held by the state? With such a wide open market ready to hear the benefits of privatized short term disability benefits, New Jersey brokers have tremendous opportunities to convert their customers and earn more commissions with a product that represents an easy renewal every year.
And with DBL Center serving as your back-end office to do the legwork, it’s practically passive income for your brokerage.
Understand the Possibilities with Privatized NJ TDB
State of New Jersey disability benefits are mandated by the state government but can be purchased through the state or private insurance carriers.
What’s the difference?
Buying through a private carrier, especially if you’re a broker working with an insurance wholesaler like The DBL Center, will offer a whole new level of personalized service, expert care, enhanced benefits and multi-line discounts on other employee benefits packages for your customers.
NJ TDB offers many benefits that state-funded plans do not, including faster payouts, better service, and a choice of direct deposit or a debit card to receive NJ temporary disability benefits.
You Can’t Lose with Privatized NJ TDB
It’s important to understand that, by law, private short term disability benefits in New Jersey must be equal to or greater than state-funded benefit amounts. The duration of payments must have the same, or more lenient, eligibility requirements as the NJ TDB state plan. Private TDB carriers must also offer the same rates as the state of New Jersey, or even better.
The New Jersey state insurance fund that handles NJ temporary disability claims often takes as long as four weeks from the date of filing to begin paying employees who filed for temporary disability.
For employees without emergency savings, an illness, injury or birth of a child could put them into debt, using credit cards or loans to cover living expenses. Your customers should know that this can hurt retention rates and morale within their organization.
There is a lot for NJ insurance brokers to offer their customers with a privatized NJ TDB policy, including the ability to bundle coverage packages for lower rates.

The Push to Privatize NJ TDB
One of the stumbling blocks to convincing business owners and HR directors in New Jersey to switch to privatized temporary disability has been the signature requirement.
The state of New Jersey mandates that employers must be signatures from 50% + 1 of the employees in a company before privatizing their NJ TDB plans.
This is a lot of extra work for busy business owners and HR teams with bigger concerns. And it’s not something a broker can do for their customers.
But there’s hope. New Jersey state legislators are considering waiving the signature requirement for businesses to switch their NJ TDB policies to a private carriers.
The burden is on the insurance industry in New Jersey to push for this positive change. The DBL Center is on your side, and we are offering resources to help.
