Can my employer refuse to fill out the paperwork that my LTD insurer is requesting?
I have long term disability. I want to go on it for depression since my doctors think I should. My employer will not fill out the paperwork since I am not eligible yet for FMLA and that I have not utilized Short Term disability (STD). STD is not available until later on in the year. Yet I am paying premiums right now for long term disability.
