When Are You Entitled to Long-Term Disability Benefits?
When employees can no longer work at their own occupation for a period longer than six (6) months due to a disability, they may be entitled to compensation to substitute a portion of their earnings for that period under long-term disability.
After twenty-four (24) months, if employees are unable to return to their own occupation, they are expected to find employment in any occupation. This is a period in which claims are often denied.
Insurance companies expect the insured to obtain employment in any position in order to earn a living. They deny in the process that the disabilities prevent you from in fact working. Long-term disability benefits extend beyond the two (2) year period to those living with disabilities who cannot work at any occupation.
