MetLife & Verizon Wireless Must Reinstate Employee Disability Benefits

MetLife & Verizon Wireless Must Reinstate Employee Disability Benefits

The Issue

Most major corporations offer an option for disability insurance to their emplyees. Verizon Wireless is one of those, however, if an employee becomes disabled they are at the mercy of the insurance carrier to fulfill their obligation! Verizon Wireless uses MetLife as their disability insurance carrier. While working for them, I became disabled with a severe case of tinnitus (none stop LOUD ringing in my ears and head 24 hour a day). While MetLife doesn't have a problem taking premiums from their millions of customers "they have a problem fulfilling their obligation when paying out disability claims!". They closed my disability claim (as well as countless others) just because they can get away with it. That's not just monthly monetary disability benefits (that are paid for by employees) but health and life insurance benefits as well when they are needed the most!

Tell MetLife Insurance Company and Verizon Wireless to STOP Manipulating Disabled Employees and Pay Them Their Disability Benefits!
