What does it mean when a disability insurance company pays disability benefits under a “reservation of rights”?

Disability attorney Cesar Gavidia discusses what it means when a claimant receives payment under a “reservation of rights”.

Payment under reservation of rights can continue from up to three months to six months, even up to a year, depending on how long the insurance company is taking to evaluate your claim. They could either, after reservation of rights have been paid, they could terminate your benefits or they could lift reservation of rights of paying your normally under your disability policy. If you have any issues regarding payments from your insurance company, please don’t hesitate to call us.
