Question
Will signing a separation aggreement affect my LTD payments from the carrier?
My employer provided a long term disability insurance policy for me. I was approved with Metlife, they contact me every three months by sending out forms to my doctor and calling me on the phone. How long will this go on? Part II: I am being terminated from work if I do not return by the end of the month. According to my doctor, I am not fit to return even with accommodations. If I sign a separation agreement, will this affect my long term disability payments from the LTD carrier?
Answer
Dinah, no, you will still have all rights under your LTD plan as your rights under same were established at the time of your disability – when you were covered employee. It is not at all uncommon for employers to terminate employment.
