Filing a Claim
As long as you have already completed the Application for Disability, no additional claim form is needed. After you have been on short term disability for four months and it is anticipated that you may be eligible for long term disability coverage, any additional paperwork needed will be requested directly to your home address.
Additional documentation typically required includes:
  • an Authorization Form to release your medical information
  • an Integration Acknowledgement Form which advises you about the integration of other income benefits with this plan and requires you to agree to reimburse the Company if an overpayment occurs
  • additional paperwork as needed
You must complete all requested documentation to receive Basic Long Term Disability Plan benefits.
Who decides if I am eligible to receive a disability benefit?
The Claims Administrator has full discretion and authority to control and manage the operation of this plan, including determining eligibility to receive benefits under the Plan.
How do I appeal a benefit determination or denied claim?
There are special rules, procedures and deadlines that apply to appeals of benefit determinations and denied claims, and you have special legal rights under ERISA. Please refer to the Administrative Information section for a description of the appeal process.
