I was recently let go from my job for 'frustration of contract', due to my disability. I am on LTD disability through my group benefits provider (and this will continue until age 65 in my understanding).
My question has to do with payments; my employer paid out a lump sum payment of 8 weeks in lieu of notice, plus 16 weeks severance. If I understand correctly, my LTD payments will be paused because the severance is considered income. How do I find out if the pause in LTD payments is based on gross or net severance payment? Will there ever be a time when they can legally pay me LESS than what I currently receive in LTD based on the above?
Also is there anything else I should be asking/thinking about/considering when it comes to being let go due to a disability? I am not generally looking for a fight against either my employer or my benefits provider, however I do want to ensure that I am protected overall and receive whatever I am due to receive going forward.
