LEARN ABOUT BENEFITS

Are You Eligible for GIC Long-Term Disability Benefits?

Massachusetts is considered a "non-Social Security" state, which means many employees of the State of Massachusetts are not eligible for benefits through the Social Security Administration. To ensure state employees are covered in the event of a disability, the Massachusetts Group Insurance Commission has chosen Unum to insure the State's long-term disability plan.

Due to the Long Term Disability Plan's coordination of benefits clause, voluntarily electing to file for early retirement can drastically impact the value of your Long-Term disability benefits as well as the money your receive from the State's pension system when you reach retirement age. Choosing incorrectly which benefits to apply for can drastically impact your financial standing when you reach retirement and replace a tax-free long term disability benefit with a taxable one.

Having an experienced Long Term Disability Attorney who is well-versed in filing disability employees of the State of Massachusetts can help alleviate the stress as well as help with the transition from working to filing for disability.
