2.6 Total Disability

During the Elimination Period and during the first twenty-four (24) months thereafter, a Covered Employee shall be deemed “Totally Disabled” if, due to sickness or bodily injury, he or she is unable to perform each and all of the material duties pertaining to his or her occupation, and is not engaged in any occupation or employment for wage or profit for which he or she is reasonably qualified by education, training or experience. This means the Covered Employee can perform one or more, but not all, of the material duties of his or her position or a similar position available to him or her with the Covered Employer. The term “material duty” means a duty or responsibility that is designated as a “key job element”, “essential function”, “specific responsibility” or “major responsibility” in a job or position description applicable to the Covered Employee’s job or similar job of the Covered Employee. After the expiration of the Elimination Period and the first twenty-four (24) months thereafter, as described above, “Total Disability” means the continuous inability of the Covered Employee, due to sickness or bodily injury, to engage in each and every occupation or employment for wage or profit that he or she is reasonably qualified to do or may become reasonably qualified to do by education, training or experience; and from which occupation or employment the Covered Employee may be expected to receive a monthly rate of income or earnings in an amount equal to at least eighty (80) percent of his or her Monthly Compensation, as defined in subsection 2.12. For purposes of the preceding sentence, disability from each and every occupation or employment shall be determined without regard to (i) whether such occupation or employment exists in the
