When I filed my original claim I gave detailed info from my Doctors and myself and my case manager was helpful and I started receiving my weekly benefits but after about 6 weeks it started taking longer and longer to receive my weekly payment, even though it was issued on the exact same day of every week!! So far it has been 2 weeks since I have received a payment and my bills are still do!! My case manager has never returned any of my calls and I finally did talk to a representative, but they just told me it could take up t... read more

I am sitting here with my daughter who has jumped through hoops with New York Life Short Term Disability for over a month and after endless wait times and numerous voicemails gets a letter in her account saying they have not yet received the faxed information from her doctors. Her doctors have faxed the information 3 times! New York Life has definitely received the information. As stated in so many of these reviews, New York Life's motivation is to discourage you from pursuing payment to them. That is the TRUE mission of the... read more

Business response:

We regret the poor experience ********** and his daughter have had. Without specific further detail on ************** daughter, such as name or incident number or any other identifying information, we are unable to determine her specific claim to investigate his concerns further.

Not the best atleast in disability coverage atleast in my experience. I couldn't get approved because I wasn't basically crippling through my condition. They took 2 months just to tell me only this lol. 2 months to deny me. Make sure you have your doctors notate very detailed information, be smart about what you tell your doctors because they will go off of exactly their words like that I can walk just fine and disregard everything else lol and not so much your journey through what you're going through. God forbid you have a... read more

I filed for STD back in March 2022 and never heard from the company. I sent several emails requesting an update on my STD claim but never received a response. I have called and left the case manager messages with no response. i was told that the case manager called and requested information from me. I never received a call from the case manager or a voicemail. Now today I receive a letter regarding *** which I don't understand because my STD claim has not been processed. At this point I am going to contact the insurance comm... read more

Absolutely needs investigated by the insurance commission ! They never had any issues taking a deduction from my paycheck for STD and *** insurance but when it's time to pay for a claim they require a claim update every 3 weeks or they close your claim out even though I've had multiple Dr's send in disability claims stating I'd be off a minimum of 3 months which now turned into indefinitely with a cancer diagnosis and major surgery coming with chemo possibly to follow, They want documentation of every doctors visit with prog... read more
