What to Do When You’re Terminated While Receiving Disability Benefits in Florida

Our Florida and nationwide claims attorneys at Disability Insurance Law Group know many employers offer disability insurance as part of their employee benefits package. In this case, disability benefits are directly tied to employment because the employer typically pays the premiums for the insurance policy, and the coverage is based on the individual’s employment status with that specific employer.

If you become disabled while employed and covered by such a policy, you may be eligible for disability benefits based on the terms of the policy. However, if you are terminated from your job while receiving disability benefits anywhere in the U.S., it’s essential to take specific steps to protect your rights and ensure that you continue to receive the benefits you’re entitled to.

We can help.

Our Skilled Disability Insurance Claims Attorneys Can Thoroughly Review Your Policy

Carefully reviewing the terms of your disability insurance policy will allow you to understand your rights and obligations in the event of termination. This includes detailing any provisions related to termination of benefits, including whether benefits are affected if you return to work or if your employment status changes.

This will allow us to inform your disability insurance provider promptly about your termination from employment and provide them with any documentation or information they may require, such as a termination letter from your employer.

While we handle the details of your claim, continue to receive medical treatment and follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations. Your eligibility for disability benefits may depend on ongoing medical evidence supporting your inability to work due to your disability.

Depending on your circumstances, you may explore options such as applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or exploring vocational rehabilitation services to help you return to work.

Can I File an Appeal If My Disability Insurance Benefits are Terminated?

If your disability benefits are terminated or denied due to your termination from employment, you have the right to appeal the decision. We can help you follow the appeals process outlined by your insurance provider, help you overcome any challenges with your disability benefits, or help you overcome any issues if you believe your rights have been violated.

It’s crucial to take proactive steps to protect your rights and ensure that you continue to receive the benefits you’re entitled to after being terminated while receiving disability benefits in Florida or elsewhere in the U.S.
