This assistance is for a qualified minister who was actively employed by a Nazarene church at the time of disability, and who has been certified to receive a monthly disability benefit from the Social Security Administration.
Temporary Monthly Disability Assistance is designed to give the disabled minister assistance for no more than five months for the interim in which the local church income has ceased and the Social Security benefit has not yet begun. The amount of the monthly assistance will be equal to the monthly benefit certified by the Social Security Administration less any LTD benefit payable from any of the LTD plans available through Nazarene Benefits USA.
Application must be initiated by the District Superintendent's request and approved by the District Superintendent and District Advisory Board.
