What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My wife was in an accident some years ago that has left her partially disabled. She needs to go on short term disability at her Dr.s request to undergo intensive physical therapy. Her employer was aware of her leaving for only a few weeks as she provided 2 weeks notice. Today (her last day) they notified her that if she is gone for more than 3 weeks they will drop her from the insurance coverage and she will be responsible to pay for it herself... Is that legal??? How can her employer who shes been failthful to for 5+ years and WE have always paid her portion (not cheap) of the insurrance coverage threaten to not cover her insurrance any longer? Its not like shes leaving, she was only going to be gone for 5-6 weeks anyway but now there is no reason to even leave since the therapy is going to take a minimum of 6 week...
