Has anyone on here ever successfully got payment from their employer's plans for STD/LTD coverage?
Do you also apply for Social Security disability?

U bet...i did..went on std, rather simple process with my company, then ltd, then when those payments stopped i went on ss disability.
check with your company plan to see how many weeks of pay you get for sht. and long term. also try to use any sick days up first and vacation time....makes the money stretch out longer. ss disability takes a confirmation/decline from 4 months on. i got mine in 4 months. you have to wait tho to begin getting paid beginning at 6 months. but once you apply, the money starts accruing so if accepted, first check is considerably bigger than following checks. u can pm me if u want.hope this helps. hugs.
