FAQ: Why does the long term disability carrier have the right to reduce my long term disability benefits by the receipt of Social Security benefits?
Answer: Great question! Unfortunately, many long term disability carriers have a clause in the insurance contract that says that the long term disability carrier gets to take advantage of your favorable Social Security decision. That means they can ask for a repayment of overpayment of benefits and reduce your future long term disability benefits. They get you coming and going.
