More details to this question:
I've been with my company for 14 years. I took out long term disability to protect myself. My doctor took me off work due to my epilepsy. When I ask my employer about my long term disability benefit, they said I was never enrolled, but they were taking money out of my paycheck.

Talk with a local attorney. If they took the money out, you may have a claim against the employer for the missing benefit.

You should talk to an attorney that handles employment benefit issues. I do not know, but I suspect your employer is now liable to you for any benefits you may be entitled, had they purchased the insurance you paid for. Employer then become the insurer.

Hmm. Does not sound right. You need to get a full record/statement of your deductions.
