They are crooks who don’t care about anything except making sure they deny claims and save money.

I have been battling with The Standard out of Oregon for most of the year. I went out on disability leave of absence from work at the beginning of January for mental health issues as well as some other health issues. Severe depression, anxiety, migraines, stress, and physical pain from previous surgeries causing me to need abdominal scar tissue removed while I was out of work. Shortly after I left work my mother attempted suicide and I am the one who found her and saved her life but it was ver traumatic. It caused some very severe PTSD and caused my depression and anxiety to worsen. On top of taking care of my mother and her appointments and all of my doctors appoints as well, once my short term ran out at the beginning of April and it switched to Long Term they stopped paying me.I have almost lost my home, had to sell everything I own of value, was in the psychiatric hospital for a week (3 days of which were not voluntary) due to passive suicidal ideations. And even though my therapist would’ve preferred that I go into an intensive outpatient treatment program, I had no choice but to go back to work because I hadn’t been paid in 4 months. They are crooks who don’t care about anything except making sure they deny claims and save money. Had anything happened to me, my family would be able to blame my current financial situation for it and The Standard would be the cause for it. They never return phone calls or emails in a timely manner. My HR coordinator at work even emailed my supposed caseworker and she never got a response. They are a giant joke of horrible business practices and they don’t care about anybody but themselves.
