Assurity Life Insurance Company is the result of the merger of three longtime Lincoln, Nebraska-based insurers—Assurity Life, Security Financial Life and Lincoln Direct Life (not to be confused with Lincoln Fianancial)—in 2007. Each of the original companies began serving customers in Eastern Nebraska communities in the late 1800s before establishing their permanent headquarters in Lincoln. Assurity Life today is a diversified financial services organization, licensed in 49 states and the District of Columbia.

Appeal of Assurity Insurance Company Denial Letter
If you have an individual policy or are a government employee and your long term disability claim has been denied or cut-off, you may not have to file an administrative appeal with the insurance company to enforce your rights. You should consult with an experienced disability attorney to determine your legal rights.
If you have a group plan Assurity disability policy, your policy is likely governed by ERISA. ERISA does have strict appeal procedures and deadlines. ERISA requires an internal or administrative appeal if your benefits are terminated or denied. The time limit to file an appeal is very limited, usually only 180 days. Under some policies, you may have a second, voluntary appeal.
