Navigate the Complexities of Aon Hewitt Disability Appeals Process
When Aon Hewitt administers your group disability insurance policy, it’s important to be understand that Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) guidelines likely apply to your claim.
Adherence to ERISA’s strict appeal procedures and deadlines is essential if your disability benefits have been denied or terminated. Typically, you have a short period of time, often as little as 180 days, to file your appeal. Some policies may also allow you an optional second appeal.
If you have an individual policy, ERISA does not apply to your claim. To fully understand your legal options, it’s a good idea to consult a disability attorney.
