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.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ERISA?
ERISA was put in place with the intention of protecting the interests of employees and their families with regard to their pensions, disability insurance plans, healthcare, and other group benefit packages. While it does set forth certain rights of employees, such as access to certain documentation held by the insurance company or decision maker, it also severely restricts an employee’s ability to pursue certain actions against the insurance company for improper denials of short-term and long-term disability claims.
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.

There is no lack of fun and excitement in Toledo!
Toledo originally began as two smaller towns called Port Lawrence and Vistula, built along the shores of the Maumee River. In the 1820s and 30s, construction began on the Miami and Erie Canal, and all the small towns on the Maumee River competed to become the terminus of the canal. Port Lawrence and Vistula merged in 1833 so as to give themselves higher status and a better chance of becoming the terminus of the canal. They didn’t end up being the lucky winners, but they stuck together and took on the name Toledo.
Today, Toledo is the 79th largest city in the US, with a population of 287,208 people.
The University of Toledo website says this about the city:
Founded in 1833, Toledo has become well known for its industry, particularly in auto assembly and glass (hence the nickname “The Glass City”). Toledo is now at the heart of the New Manufacturing Economy, which is entrepreneurial in spirit. The Toledo area recognizes and celebrates this spirit. Toledo is the perfect place to increase your opportunities – this area has talent, capital and networks.
