I thought fighting cancer was bad. Fighting New York Life has been worse. They changed my return to work date based on their estimate. Not my doctor's. I called February 21st to straighten it out. My doctor's ****** and I both sent what we thought were the correct forms. The forms that were provided by NYLife. 2-weeks later, my paycheck was zero. I've spoke to at least 6 different Reps many who are from out of the country. I thought the info was lost in translation. Apparently not. I've called my nurse several times with no ... read more

I would like to give zero stars. I had a pretty good experience until my worker switched to ********. I have given her everything she has asked for and yet it is still pending. This feels like retaliation for me advocating for myself. I made ******** mad and now she is retaliating against me. She asks for the information and I give it to her and then she asks for it again. She has asked me the same question over and over again and then she says she has to speak to her superiors. Then nothing. Two weeks ago she said she appro... read more

The policy also requires that we receive proof that the customer is Disabled according to the policy terms. We acknowledge there was a delay with making a decision on the claim. However, we approved the... read more

With the support of psychotherapy, specialists, physical and clinical therapy, and pharmacotherapy, and progressing through a pain clinic to help wi... read more

We regret that the customer had a poor experience with our **********************. We understand her frustration and hope she can understand it is our goal to administer the policy according to its terms. On March 21, 2024, our Claim Manager spoke with the customer and advised that the claim is being denied as the available medical records fail to provide sufficient evidence to support that shes Disabled according to the policy terms. Once the determination is finalized, a letter will be sent to the customer. Should the cust... read more

I was diagnosed with several disabilites covered under the Americans with Disablity Act.

I have been seeing a doctor for my disability for five years. I struggled while continuing working as a special education school teacher with the support of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, and very basic accommodations (distraction free work area.) Recently, I had a decline ... read more

They are a terrible company.They do not get your paperwork in to get your money on time. You get different answers for what they need.They send documents to medical records not time stamped so therefore they can't receive the records. So they can't pay you.. You pay for disability insurance so that your family can get taken care of while you heal and I can't take care of them because they don't do whatever they are supposed to do. Do not get short term disability here it's a nightmare
