Is it normal to take long period of time for approval?

What is a fair severance while on short term disability?

Ive been off work and on Long term disability for the last 10+ years. My employer is a huge company. So I received a termination letter from my work yesterday stating that my employee agreement has become frustrated and they are ending my employment. They are telling me that I have to sign a release to get my severance of $25,000. Not sure if that legal either. My question is since the $25,000 is going to be a lump sum payment that will be taxed: 1. will this money go directly to the LTD insurance company 2. Will it be the gross or net amount that the LTD insurance company will take? 3. Will the severance be used by the LTD insurance for reimburse past payments or towards future payments?
