Im on short-term disability for a none work related injury i was approved by my employers insurance but im being denied by the state to receive almost 2 months of pay and tbey did some tricky stuff to make me not be able to provide information then sent a letter late on Friday with a Saturday deadline and said on Monday I would not get anything even if I try again.

I’m sorry you are dealing with this, especially while recovering. Approval for employer-provided short-term disability does not automatically mean the State will approve FAMLI benefits. I understand that the State deadline is frustrating, but it is doubtful that you would have any recourse from the State’s decision.

You should save the denial letter, envelope or delivery record, portal screenshots, attempted submissions, medical records, and all communications. Based on the information provided, I suggest you submit an appeal as soon as possible, include the missing information if you can, and explain that you received late notice and were unable to respond by the stated deadline.

If you’d like to discuss your case in more depth, we would be glad to discuss the denial, review your documents, and advise you on the appeal process. You’ll need to schedule a consultation online or call 303-688-0944.
