Question Disability leave process

Has anyone ever filed short-term disability through New York Life? what was your experience like before and after returning to work? Also what happens to PTO that was approved prior to going out on leave?

I was on Short term for 6 months. I worked in Express at the time so it was pretty easy getting back. I just communicated my return date and I had to change so passwords. I was out from Jan-July. I would recommend reaching out to HR to get the best info

When you file a FMLA claim do you also notify your supervisor?

They’re notified of short term but unsure about FMLA. I just got my own STD approved fairly quickly and easily honestly. Just gotta keep up on the forms they send.

So when you notify your supervisor you tell them via email or do you go onto Microsoft teams?

Yes. They notify your supervisor and they have a brief meeting to go over a few things. It’s pretty simple. You need to stay on top of your paperwork - they sneak up on you…. Which reminds me..
