Lost Wage Reimbursement Living Donor Financial Assistance for Donation-Related Time Off Work

Choosing to become a living donor is an incredibly generous act, and we believe that decision shouldn’t come with financial burdens. Since donation surgery and recovery often require time away from work, Donor Shield is here to help with financial support.

Donors covered by Donor Shield are eligible for lost wage reimbursement up to a maximum of $2,000 per week for up to 12 weeks.

No income or financial details are required from the recipient. Your eligibility doesn’t depend on your recipient’s income.

Donor Shield offers this support for kidney and liver donations. If you are a double living donor, you may claim the full benefit amount for each donation.

Please see the Donor Shield Reimbursement Policy for more information.
