Do You Have Disability Benefits Through Your Employer?

We frequently meet with people seeking disability benefits administered by the Social Security Administration, the Veterans Administration, and other government programs. One of our initial interview questions is to determine if the applicant may be eligible for other benefits.

Many are unaware their former employer had a short-term and/or a long-term disability benefit for employees unable to work because of health problems and issues. Also, many assume because they resigned their job – because of health problems – they are not eligible to make a claim. Most of the time, resigning a job is not a waiver of making a claim for disability benefits provided through an employer.

There are time limits to apply for benefits provided by employers. It is important to be aware of what financial help you may be entitled to secure. Contact us today so we can help you through the process. In the meantime, continue reading to find out what documents you need to apply.
