If you are searching for information to learn more about Maitland Long Term Disability, you have come to the right place! Here are our answers to the top 3 frequently asked questions on the topic.
What Is Maitland Long Term Disability?
Long Term Disability benefits are provided to an individual to replace lost income in the event of an injury or sickness resulting in an inability to work. Generally, after the end of the entitlement to Short Term Disability benefits, Maitland Long Term Disability benefits begin. Pro tip: Keep in mind that the denial of Short Term Disability benefits does not mean there is no entitlement to Maitland Long Term Disability benefits (despite what the insurance company may tell you).
How Long Does It Take For Long Term Disability To Respond To My Applications?
After applying for or appealing a denial for Maitland Long Term Disability benefits, the wait to hear from the insurance company with a decision can seem like an eternity. The insurance company is allowed 45 days to make their decision under the applicable regulations in an Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) claim. However, they are granted an additional 45 days, should they request it, as a matter of right. This means that typically the window of time is much closer to 90 days than 45 days in the majority of cases we see in our office.
Despite the lengthy time frames, it is important to remain patient and continue to fight for the benefits to which you are entitled. When representing our clients, the Law Office of Herbert M. Hill does not allow insurance companies to use dilatory tactics to delay the decision-making process. We know how long they are entitled to take and we allow no extra wiggle room in that equation.
