What Are ERISA Disability/Health/Life Insurance Claims?

In 1974, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was passed to ensure that pension and health plans meet certain standards according to federal law. As such, if you are an employee in the United States, it is most likely that your employee benefits are controlled by the ERISA laws and regulations.

It often takes a lawyer a very long time to learn the nuances of ERISA law. The law is not clear, and more importantly, it is not necessarily fair. If you have been denied benefits (whether they are covered by ERISA or not), we may be able to help you.

What Is Involved With An ERISA Claim?

It is typical for an insurance company to delay or deny an individual’s ERISA long-term disability claim. There are many factors that may result in a person being denied ERISA benefits by an insurance company, such as improper filing of documentation and the type and severity of the injury. In the event that your long-term disability claim was denied, you will have a period of time (180 days is now mandated) to request a review of your ERISA claim denial. In this time, you may have to file a variety of documents, which must be accurately filled out and filed in a timely manner. You may be required to submit further personal information or evidence to prove that you are eligible and entitled to the benefits that you were denied.
