If I'm on short term disability from my company can they deny my regular insurance?



My normal health care requires me to be a full time employee working 40 hours a week. I had a seizure on the job, and can no longer drive a forklift. I have tried to return doing other duties, but they have said they have nothing for me. They placed me on short term disability, and are sending me a cobra package while cancelling my regular health insurance because I'm currently working 40 hours a week. I have worked there 17 years. While on Short Term disability should my regular medical insurance be covered? If it is, where can I find something to prove this to my company in black and white? I'm an Illiniois state resident.

No, they don't pay your group health while you're on disability. You'll have to pay the Cobra. Source(s): agent, 21+ years
working 40 hours a week and on short term disability???
sure they can stop your health...you aren't employed there
If your job has discontinued your employment and you have seizures, then you should be applying for Medicare. 65 OR disabled is the rule.
This should be covered in your employee handbook. Most companies will have you pay your portion of the premium while on STD, but they can charge you the full amount or put you on Cobra since this is considered a reduction in hours and your state does not have a state disability plan and no provision in there regulations for short term disability.

Here is the IL DOL site: http://www.state.il.us/agency/idol/...

Since it is not mentioned here, there are no provisions. Sorry
