New York Life
New York Life is full of crap
I went out on STD, provided documentation, surgery dates, given time off only to be denied afterwards and told I owe back money. I no longer work for New York Life, but they are full of crap… Denied time off before the actual dates honestly makes more sense.

Anna, although receipt of SSDI benefits is considered strong evidence of disability to be considered by New York Life, it is not a guarantee to future entitlement to disability benefits. Recently there was regulatory settlement agreement reached between New York Life and 5 state insurance commissions with respect to the handling of disability claims. New York Life now has to abide by various standards when reviewing disability claims, to include giving weight to SSDI decisions. However, the agreement also listed several factors that would allow New York Life to distance itself from a Social Security ruling. It is just another reminder that disability benefits are never a guaranteed benefit.
