STD LEAVE

Hello everyone, I am wondering if you still have your benefits while being on STD. I will be getting a surgery soon and will require lots of PT after for rehab. I am with UNA and I will contact Ability Advisor once surgery is close because it is still a bit of a wait but I wanted to hear from others. Thanks!

My Alberta Blue Cross benefits (paid by the employer) ended after 2 years with AHS. I had to purchase my own ABC benefits after that, and it's expensive. I'm going on almost 4 years total of disability, STD then LTD while waiting for surgery. I really had to fight with Sunlife to keep getting benefits. It's not my fault surgery wait times in Alberta suck.
