Hi. Make a long story short I answered my back when I was 16 years old blue a discount been dealing with pain ever since. I started working with a company in 2004 had to have neck reconstructive surgery in 2011 triple fusion now the upper and lower joints disc are messed up along with facet disease and osteoarthritis and pains through the rack area and lumbar area. Now I’m out because I’m short-term disability because my left arm I pulled a nerve and I’m out for that and neck and back pain and migraines. This pain constant for years and years and I was just wondering I’m getting short-term disability through New York Life now but they’re short change a man only paying me my earned income rather than my base income that was listed in our annual enrollment was base pay. I think my company is under reporting my base pay and saving millions. One of the biggest employers in Vegas. I am sure that I will have problems in the future from New York Life going long term

Aaron, the method for calculating your short term disability benefit is set forth in the New York Life Group STD Policy. You should request a copy from your employer and read the provision. If you still feel the calculations are incorrect or you would like to discuss the transition to LTD, I suggest you contact our office and speak with one of the attorneys to address the specific questions you have regarding your situation.
