I have been out of work since February 19th, 2023 for medical reasons and have filed for short term disability. My claim was denied April 25th and I am now looking for help with the appeal process.
If the short term disability plan was provided by your employer, it is covered by a federal law called ERISA (The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974). Because it is covered by ERISA, a law firm that represents individuals nationally can help you with your appeal.
You should retain an attorney to organize and write your appeal. If you decide to do it on your own, here is some information to help you do it. https://www.maddoxfirm.com/post/long-term-disability-appeal-letter
