The Trust Fund pays you a weekly benefit for disability absences during which you are prevented from performing your usual job duties solely as a result of a non-occupational accidental bodily injury or disease, including pregnancy related conditions.  Your disability absence must commence while you are covered under the Trust Fund.   If you are laid off at the time your disability commences, the benefit period will not start until you are recalled to work.  You do not have to be confined at home but your disability must be severe enough to prevent you from performing your regular work.  You must be under the continuous care of a Physician throughout the entire period of your disability. This benefit does not apply to dependents.
