GM's SDIP Program

General Motors is offering certain salaried employees the option of increasing their extended disability compensation benefits through the Supplemental Disability Income Protection (SDIP) Program. The SDIP is a supplemental policy paid for and owned by the employee. Enrollment ends June 17, 2011.

Considering whether to enroll in the SDIP is an important and complex decision that should be made as part of your overall financial plan. Some factors you need to consider when determining if the SDIP is right for you are:

  • Your Age

  • Years to Retirement
  • Financial Assessment: Your need to replace current income at a higher percentage than provided in the current Extended Disability Benefits (EDB) as compared to the out-of-pocket expense of the SDIP
  • Medical Risks: Your current health, family history, and outside activities
  • Additional Benefits Assessment: Importance of the additional benefits provided with the SDIP that are not included in the EDB
  • Review the “GM SDIP - Special Report and Analysis” (provided by Mainstay Capital Management) to compare the current EDB to the SDIP
