Why You Shouldn’t Use the Insurance Company’s Recommended Social Security Representative
Long Term Disability Insurance companies want you to receive Social Security Disability benefits. This is not out of the goodness of their heart. They have a financial motive for you to win social security disability benefits AND they have an incentive to keep tabs on you and your social security case. They accomplish both of these agenda’s if they can control who you choose to represent you before the Social Security Administration. Frequently your long term disability insurance company, especially those selling policies governed under federal ERISA law, will recommend one of several different companies that will represent you on your social security disability claim.

SSD Benefits Offset What Long Term Disability Insurance Owes You
Many people don’t realize it, but the disability insurance plan not only gives the insurance company the right to offset (subtract) your Social Security benefits from what the insurance company owes you now, but the insurance company also wants to recover your past benefits for their own use. Using their recommended social security disability representatives (frequently they aren’t even attorneys) allows them to track your progress with the SSA and swoop in and take any back benefits you recover. Sometimes you owe it, sometimes you don’t. In any event, it creates an obvious conflict of interest between yourself and their recommended representative and it can be argued is bad faith on the part of the insurance company.
One of the most notorious suspects brags on its website about how much money it recovers for the insurance company, not what it recovers for you. Don’t be fooled.
