Frequently Asked Questions
about erisa disability
What is ERISA?
ERISA stands for the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. It is a federal law that governs certain employer-sponsored benefit plans. These plans usually cover retirement (i.e. 401(k), health insurance, and disability (short-term and long-term disability insurance) benefits provided by your employer. ERISA outlines several strict requirements and deadlines that govern an employee’s application for benefits, submitting appeals on disapproved claims, and how someone can litigate his or her claim in court.
What is an ERISA plan?
The ERISA plan can be referred to as several different things, such as “the policy,” “the long-term disability policy,” or “the LTD policy,” refers to a specific document that is held by the employer and/or plan administrator. It is an official document that covers everything from who in your company is covered for the benefit, to how much you can expect to receive and for how long, to the specific definitions of disability and other important terminology, to how to appeal, and other very important information. The plan or policy is the governing document that directs how the insurance company and/or your employer is to handle your claim for disability benefits.
Who is subject to ERISA?
ERISA covers benefit plans provided by nearly every employer in the private sector. Certain benefit plans are excluded from ERISA, including benefits issued by government employers, benefits issued by churches or other religious organizations, and insurance policies that you purchase on your own. There are other exemptions from ERISA, but these are a few of the most common.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU GET DENIED FOR DISABILITY?
If your application for long-term disability benefits is denied, the insurer is required to provide you at least one appeal, and it may require up to two appeals. Most long-term disability policies permit, but do not require, you to file a second appeal. Therefore, the insurance company potentially could deny your application, deny your first appeal, and deny your second appeal as well, for a total of three denials.
