Long Term Disability Claims for Government Employees
At Monahan Tucker Law, we understand the emotional and financial stress that a disability can impose, and we are here to stand by your side every step of the way. With our experience in handling long term disability claims, particularly for government employees, we aim to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve.
Types of Long-Term Disability Claims for Government Employees
Government employees can access various types of long-term disability benefits, each with its own set of eligibility requirements and application procedures. The most common include:
FERS Disability Retirement
The Federal Employees Retirement System Disability Retirement is designed for federal employees who are unable to perform their job duties due to a medical condition. To qualify, an employee must have completed at least 18 months of federal civilian service and have a disabling condition expected to last at least one year.
FECA Benefits
The Federal Employees’ Compensation Act provides compensation benefits to federal employees who sustain work-related injuries or illnesses. Unlike FERS, FECA covers both temporary and permanent disabilities, focusing more on injury-related claims.
State-Specific Disability Programs
Beyond federal programs, many states offer their own disability benefits for government employees. Eligibility and benefits vary by state, and it’s essential to understand the specific provisions applicable in your jurisdiction.
Appeals Process
If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal. This often involves presenting new evidence or clarifying existing information. It is crucial to understand the appeals process and the specific requirements for your type of claim. Our attorneys at Monahan Tucker Law have extensive experience in handling appeals for government employee disability claims and can guide you through this process.
