As far as I know all companies have to carry "short term disability" either through a private insurer or through there state. Once a detemination is made that the person can no longer work then a claim is processed there the Federal Social Security Administration, SSD. So, I wonder why is a private company getting involved with your claim, it's really a conflict of interest?? Kathy, I'm just looking out for you. I would call my case worker and question it.

Let me try to clearify.. yes, my employer does work thru a private insurer... and mine was processed thu the SSD Administration.. Allsup is a group hired by my previous employer to assist me in applying for SSD (saves the legal help). Once I had hit LTD with my company, they hire this group to guide me in applying for SSD..This in the long run helps put my employer..as once approval for SSD is done..this takes a large financial burden (some) off my previous employer..it's offset/supplemental to LTD..and every company has different private policys... I am blessed as my previous employer, a very large company.. I was there 25 yrs and have fantastic benefits... exp. life time healthcare for myself (and family..children until age 26).. and my husband has survivor benefits...I have lost very little pay while out..on and on..Just wish it didn't have to be this way..I so miss my life there!
Hugz, Kathy
