Hi Cherie and PolarExpress,
The insurance is from an outside agency, the insurance is paid by my employer but the checks come from the agency, I am not saying that I am OK to work at all, just that the guy wants to use my knowlege of the certian accounts to set up other people to do the work, I am just concerned that I will be cut off by the agency if I work at all........I guess I eed to call the insurance company to see.....
Thanks for all your help...
Oh Cherie, I am getting better by the WEEK some of the numbness is subsiding and my hand works a little better now........could it be that I am on the UPswing from this?
Also I do not want to jepordise this by trying to work.......
Joe

Quite often, while on short or long-term disability, a person may wish to "try" to go back to work on a "back to work" program. That is a pre-established schedule, and it may include trying to work a total of 8 hours the first two weeks, maybe 16 after that, etc., etc. If at any time you can't handle the pace, you can determine another more suitable schedule.
This is how I got back to work, as going back into a 40+ hr work week from the get-go would have been suicide.
I wasn't paid "excess" pay, over and above my normal wages (STD), for trying to get back into my job. I'm not really sure that they can do that when you are on STD, although perhaps this might be more negotiable on LTD.
