MassMutual Insurance Company Denies Disability Claims
Long Term Disability (LTD) benefits are supposed to replace your wages in the event that you become disabled and unable to work. If you are insured with Mass Mutual, then you may have LTD benefits as part of a group plan offered by your employer. However, most group plans only pay you 60% of your pre-disability earnings. In order to bridge the income gap between your true wages and your group benefits, you may have purchased individual disability insurance (DI) plan.
