Unum Denied Disability Benefits
In recent settlements, UnumProvident has agreed to reconsider approximately 200,000 denied disability claims. Under investigation and pressure from the Department of Labor (DOL), UnumProvident's family of companies must offer to reassess claims denied or closed since January 1, 2000 for reasons other than settlement, death, or reaching benefit maximums. They must also allow for reassessment, upon request, of claims similarly denied or closed between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 1999. The company will continue to accept and reevaluate these claims, whether or not the claimant is still disabled, until December 31, 2006.
