We handle claims for short term disability benefits under employer provided disability plans and programs in the Chicago area and in the rest of Illinois.  Employer provided disability plans may or may not be employee benefit plans covered by ERISA.  Whether or not the plan is covered by ERISA dramatically alters the process by which you claim the benefits and appeal any denial.  

Many claims for short term disability will eventually lead to claims for benefits under a long term disability plan.  Benefits under these plans can impose several requirements on you, such as responsibilities to continue visits with physicians or to apply for benefits from the Social Security Administration.  Our staff can help you secure your benefits, meanwhile navigating you through the responsibilities the plan imposes upon you.
