I feel headaches while I am working, and I had to call sick many days. Then, the HR and the supervisor suggested me to file Short Term Disability Insurance. However, the insurance company denied the claim. I knew that it is difficult to prove the mental health, but I now see this is the reality. The HR began pressing me to return the work although I was caught in the processing the FMLA document between the doctor and the insurance company. HR started to give pressure after claims toward the Worker's Compensation and Short Term Disability is denied. I am still concerning that I am still not able to perform so I may get laid off from the job, which might be fine because ZF seems to be predatory employer. My green card process is still pending, and they would charge the processing fee if I elected to resign. I may need to consult with the lawyers specialized in the insurance before appealing. #burnout #mentalhealth #ZF #predatory
The question
You figured out the answer in the last sentence.
I believe there's a different standard for FMLA and STDI. For example, at Amazon, they almost automatically approve you for FMLA if you're statutorily eligible and the paperwork was signed by a therapist, but STDI requires extra conditions to he met (for example, a treatment plan must be provided, and a specific diagnosis code must be present). Is that different at your place? They combine FMLA and STDI, and either approve or deny both of them?
The last sentence has the answer. Consult a lawyer not blind.
