Understanding Your Options After a Broadspire Disability Benefits Denial
If Broadspire manages your long-term disability insurance policy, ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) regulations likely apply to your case. ERISA sets rigorous rules and timelines for appeals, especially when your disability benefits have been halted or rejected. The window for filing an appeal under these regulations is typically very brief, often capped at 180 days. Some plans may also offer an optional second appeal process. To navigate this complex landscape, it’s advisable to seek counsel from a disability law specialist to clarify your legal rights.
