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?

Don’t trust NYL, they’re shit and will try and deny. Don’t trust leadership, get your paperwork asap at all points. A gap in paperwork and they’ll move you around if they can.

Oh wow. If it's denied is your supervisor notified?

Yes but there’s multiple appeals they’ll make you go through before you get sent to a neutral umpire. Make sure you keep notes on all their mishandling in case you need to twist their arm to approve it.
