What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I was very ill and received LTD from a insurance company which required me to apply for SSDI and repay benefits if SSDI was approved. After 10 months, I begin to feel much better and asked my doctor for a release to return to work, which he approved. I reported to the LTD insurance that I was returning to work and they closed my claim. A few days later I get a large direct deposit from SSDI and a letter stating I have been declared disabled. I was sure the the LTD would ask me for the money they gave me back, but they never did. I still returned to work - now collecting Social Security and work pay for the last 9 months. I reported to Social Security informing them of my return to work and they said I was eligible to collect SSDI for 12 months under a return to work program. They sent me paperwork to fill out that unfortunatly show income from the LTD company - because they sent me a W-2 for that disablity income. To Social Security it looks like I was working for them the whole time I was sick for the 10 months I was sick. Somehow I have a feeling that SSDI is going to let the LTD people in on my little secret, although I don't know this for sure. Should I just come clean to the LTD company or just wait and see if they just forget about it. I sure would like to keep that money!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
