What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
Hi, I am a long haul truck driver. I have been paying for critical care, short and long term disability insurance through payroll deduction. Last month due to health problems the DOT medical doctor disqualified me from driving. I am at home on a medical leave of absense and still considered employed.
I filed for short term disability through the insurance provider. My claim was denied due to the policy was lapsed. After checking with the insurance company, my employer has not made a payment since November 2009.
Since the human resourse dept is just one lady, I am specualting embezzlement is going on. My 401K and health insurance has been maintained. But not many, if any file disability. It would be very easy to take that money unnoticed. I highly doubt it's been overlooked for one year. I have my paystubs showing the deductions to date. The policies are for for $1500/mo. benefit each and the cost I pay is around $100/mo.
The owner of the company is a successful business owner with multiple companies in multiple states. He is based in Minnesota. The company I work for was based out of Nebraska and Jan 2010 moved into the terminal in Illinois. Yet the Nebraska office is supposingly closed, they continue to use that address. I know they still pay Nebraska unemployment insurance because I checked that option. I think they are still in the process of slowly transferring to Illinois but have not done everything yet.
What should I do? If I need to file a lawsuit, what state?
They got me in a financial gridlock and I'm exhausting all savings. I'm about to take a 401K hardship which I don't want to do.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
