Re: Long-term disability - repay benefits

[P&B Fahr <fahrfarm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would think you may have to repay benefits only for any period
of time when you receive BOTH disability insurance proceeds AND
social security ---- it would depend on how far back social
security goes with benefits.

Ask a lawyer.

Subject: Long-term disability

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you have received disabiility benefits
from an
employer-sponsored disability insurance program.  I was
subscribing to my
employer's disability insurance, and made a claim for benefits
when I
stopped working.  I was approved for short-term and then later
for long-term
benefits:  I'll receive the long-term benefits for 24 months.  My
question
is:

The insurance adjustor told me that I would have to repay the
insurance
company for the benefits I received if I'm approved by Social
Security
disability.  This will amount to more than $20,000 and it's a
really scary
thought to know I'm liable for that much money when I'm on
disability.  Is
this correct?  Do I have to repay the disability insurance
benefits?
