East Brunswick, NJ Long-Term Disability (ERISA) Attorney

What happens if your short-term disability coverage runs out and you’re still not able to go back to work? In that case, you’d probably turn to Long-Term Disability (LTD) benefits, which typically kick in after you’ve already been out of work for an extended period of time, such as 180 days.
Getting seriously injured or ill is stressful – add the inability to bring a paycheck home and it can become overwhelming. If you have been permanently or temporarily disabled, or you’ve been diagnosed with a serious health condition, as an employee, you have rights when it comes to taking leave from your job. If you think your rights are being violated, it’s important you have an experienced Long-Term Disability attorney on your side.

What is Long Term Disability coverage?

Disability insurance is a benefit generally found in an employer’s benefits package. Long term disability insurance covers a portion of an employee’s income, normally about 50%-70%, if the employee is injured or becomes seriously ill and cannot work – usually kicking in after a short term disability policy runs out. On average, short term policies end about 26 weeks after an eligible event. It’s also important to note that if you’re hurt off the job, worker’s compensation does not cover you, which is why long term disability coverage is so crucial. Depending on the company’s plan, long term coverage could be paid in full by you, the employer or the cost could be divided between you and the company.
