overpayment of disability

[Susan Marx]

Hello I am from PA. I just received a lump sum Social Secruity Check for the last year. I had been receiving long term disability from my emploee disability insurance for the last year. Once I received Social Secruity my emploee insurance company has demanded repayment of even more money than I Social Secruity has sent me. This is because their money was taxable plus I had costs obtaining this money. They have given me 30 days to pay them back or they will charge interest. They want me to sign a promisory note. They also request I sign papers that they have access to all my socical secruity and medical information. Do I have to give them this information and sign these papers? Can they charge me interest if I do not have the full sum? I had never seen this policy and this came as complete surprise. Ater obtaining a copy it does say I can only earn 1/2 of my former pay. I guess that does not cover any medical insurance I pay. Thanks

This gets confusing and complicated.

A lawyer would have to look at the policy and terms to tell you what to do. A legal plan MAY be a great way to go. ANd don't be in a hurry to sign anything UNTIL you know your rights.
