What is the name of your state? Kansas
I have been on short term disability through my employer since Oct. 18, but I have actually only been paid through Nov. 24, leaving me 2 months behind in payments and all my bills. Is there anyway I can speed up the process with the insurance company and should I expect my employer to do more to help me with this. Also, today I receive a letter that unless I file for Family Medical Leave and qualify they will terminate me. They provisionally put me on this effective Feb. 1, 2007. Said it was a new policy effective Jan. 31 and I must apply for FML within 15 days. What will that do to my short term disability through them as a benefit of my employment? I have not returned to work because my doctor has recommended I go to the Mayo Clinic for diagnosis. As far as the "new policy" is concerned, it clearly says on it TO: ALL EMPLOYEES, but I talked to some of my co-workers and they know nothing about it and have not received notification of this new policy. Can they do that?
