Hi all, here is another question I am not sure on:

If my disability onset date is determined to have occurred while I still had private insurance from work, can a still file a claim even though I'm not with employer anymore? I think I should be able to. My dad pointed this out. I did call the company, and they said a claim had to be filed while I was still with the company. I tend to believe my dad.

What do you all think, or have experience with? It would really really help me if it were the case i qualify for the private insurance I used to have when I got sick. I know they would deduct SSDI amount, but I think there is usually a minimum payout that might be a few hundred dollars. That would help me a lot.
