Question
Will receiving my disability retirement in a lump sum affect my payments?
Answer
Brandi, look at the “Other Income Offset” section of the MetLife policy, which will specify which types of “other income” they will offset for and the manner in which they will take the offset. In general SSDI benefits are offset on a monthly basis and any back benefit award would result in an overpayment that will have to be paid back to MetLife, separate from the ongoing monthly benefit offset. It is likely that his disability retirement lump sum will also result in some form of offset/overpayment. Depending on the Policy language, they will likely offset on a monthly basis for some length of time into the future. I suggest you contact our office and speak with one of the attorneys to discuss your situation in more detail.
