FICA taxes apply to the full amount of the disability payment for the first six calendar months (rather than years) after the employee has ceased performing services for the employer. Disability payments will be exempt from FICA starting in the seventh calendar month after the employee has stopped performing services for the employer.
Many disability insurance companies have this information on their websites (see here, for example). You might check with yours for more information.
