Sixth Circuit: Claimant Could Be Entitled to LTD Benefits, Despite Late Filing of Claim
ERISA Lawyer Blog 
Oct. 8, 2015
"[The Court found that, while the plaintiff] did not comply with the notification deadlines outlined in the Plan, in that she did not file her claim for LTD benefits prior to termination, that failure is not surprising given that she was suffering from severe mental illness and was unable to comply due to the very disability for which she sought coverage. Provisions in the Plan contemplate the awarding of LTD benefits to employees who become disabled as long as they are working for Ford at the time of onset, which occurred here." [Waskiewicz v. UniCare Life and Health Ins. Co., No. 14-1479 (6th Cir. Oct. 2, 2015)]
