What is the name of your state? California
This is regarding my claim for Short Term Disability through Broadspire Ins. provided by my employer.
I had 60 days from receipt of initial denial letter of STD claim to file a second appeal. 60th day fell on saturday of a 3 day weekend. My attorney filed (via fax) it on the 1st business day after holiday. Insurance Co. claims it was filed late. is there a law in california regarding filing a claim that if a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday (in this case both) that the deadline moves to the next business day? this makes a difference if my claim can be ressurected or is dead. they claim that president's day is not a legal holiday, since they were open for business (although there is no mail delivery etc.)
my attorney asked for confirmation of the extension to the day after the holiday, they said no, and she filed it after the holiday ANYWAYS! do i have any recourse with the attorney or the insurance company?
