You should initiate your claim as soon as you recognize you are no longer able to meet the demands of your job. In fact, it is very important that you file a claim for benefits before your employer chooses to terminate your job or let you go. This will avoid any question that you have active short-term disability coverage.
Still, there are a couple of things you should know before filing a claim for short-term disability benefits:
- You need to be under the care of a medical professional for the condition(s) you are disabled from.
- Your doctors need to be willing to support your disability and express such support to the insurance company.
Without active medical treatment and support from your doctor(s) it is likely that your claim will be denied. If possible, discuss a possible disability claim with your doctors and ask that they support you before initiating your claim.
Our experienced disability lawyers can assist you in preparing to file your claim for short-term disability benefits.
