Question
Who is responsible for providing a copy of my policy? And do I have to give Guardian all of the back pay if approved for SSDI to offset payments already made?
Answer
Kelly, Your employer is responsible for providing the policy. I would recommend that you put your request for same in writing. With respect to SSDI and DSSDI- if they are enumerated sources of other income subject to offset under the policy then you will be responsible for any applicable overpayment of benefits by Guardian. The chances are your policy indicates the same.

If you work for a company who offers Guardian, tell them NO and get a non ERISA provider. Guardian lied about my options and then tried to tell me I'm not disabled
