*** denied my short term disability claim due to their medical professionals opinions. My case manager ******** contradicted herself numerous times over the months of stress caused by this never ending process. They force you to eventually give up even though your doctor states that you cannot work due to injuries. They dont even bother to look into what your job actually is. They will always use the doctor didnt provide notes excuse. Its their get out of jail free card. Asking your doctor numerous time to provide notes is a... read more

I was approved but because my husband had a claim prior to mine because of his health .So I was told the federal government only allows me to use 456 hours a year so I would have to file *** instead...this has been a night mare employees express during open enrollment how one call to have something corrected ends up being eight calls I spend my whole lunch speaking with someone about the same thing over and over until you have to ... read more

This by far is the worst company that I have had to deal with .On December 8th I contacted New York life because I have t o report time for incapacity for the type of leave rhat I have (ADA).I try to fo everything on line because I HATE having to even contacting them because it's ALWAYS overwhelming!!! I accidentally entered the wrong date for my absence but called immediately when I realized what I had done. Instead of reporting 12/7 I entered 12/14 and called to let them know what I had done on 12/8 spoke with a rep that I... read more

*** will do whatever to stall, delay, deny benefits. I was already on *** disability when my doctor report that I would need to be out of work for an extended period of time. I contacted *** on 11/19/24 to start the claim transition from **********. The *** advocate told me that the *** advocate would call me by the end of the week or within 36 hrs at the latest to gather all the information, and provide me with the forms, needed to begin the *** claim. No one ever contacted me! I have call and requested a call back every da... read more

It’s obvious NYL didn’t look at my medical information and job description. Without going into detail, because I don’t believe NYL remotely cares, no objective person would think it’s reasonable for me to continue working.

I feel like the motto at New York Life Insurance company is "Prolong the process for as long as you can, so we can pay out as little as we can. If possible, don't pay them at all. That's a win for us!"Don't use New York Life Insurance company. They don't want to actually help you. This business doesn't care about your medical issues or grief.

Hello,I have been paying my life insurance online for over 3 years. One day while I was trying to pay for my life insurance, I all of sudden didn't have access. I didn't get any email or letter stating that there was a problem or breach. If I wasn't as old as I am and If I knew I could get some life insurance somewhere else, I would drop my policy. They are very unprofessional, I will never recommend them.
