The application process for wage replacement benefits varies depending on the type of benefit:
1. Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Insurance: Contact your HR department or insurance provider to begin the application process. You will typically need medical documentation to support your claim. 2. Sick Leave and PTO: Coordinate with your employer to use available sick leave or PTO. Some companies may require a doctor's note. 3. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): Submit a request to your employer, providing necessary medical documentation. FMLA leave is unpaid but offers job protection. 4. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Apply online through the Social Security Administration's website or visit a local office. Prepare to provide detailed medical and work history information.
