Other Income Benefits include but is not limited to Social Security disability and retirement benefits. As the customer was receiving Social Secur... read more

I had to file for **** to travel to provide care for my daughter after her surgery and NYLGBS communication has been sparse and not efficient. They do not send any email or text notifications that correspondence has been uploaded to your claim online and their Absence Managers do not follow-up with phone calls to ensure information is received or that there is missing information from paperwork. I spoke to another absence manager and still did not receive another follow-up that any information was missing from my primary abs... read more

Our experience with NY Life Insurance Company: 10/2021, first for *** and later for **** Once the *** went into ***,we hired a lawyer in advance of the conversion.We were able to receive *** benefits in a timely manner because we jumped through the hoops and paid for legal advice. *** reports, ***, and many other items required. We spent about $8000 in legal fees. Once *** was approved, a requiremen was to apply for ****. After 3 trys, and an administrative law judge hearing, he was given a "favorable decision" letter.

Based on the information provided we are unable to determine which specific claim the customer is referring to. We sent the customer an email on 10/22/24 to obtain more information and try to assist with the concerns he is having. If the customer is willing to provide more information to us - incident number for his claim, DOB, etc - we'd be glad to look into this further.

I filed a claim for short term disability in the first few weeks of July (had wanted to file earlier, but my ortho doc was out of town), and it took until mid-August to get my claim approved. It was only approved until August 7th, and re-approval was required to keep my checks going, as I am going to be off until at least November . I was given very little direction on the next steps in my case, and it took many phone calls and visits between New York Life and to my doctor to try for re-approval. On September 23rd, the paper... read more
