Talking to the union is the best advice and most important thing you can do! Here in the southern conference there are provisions in our union contract for situations exactly like yours. There is short term disability and long term disability. If I understand your situation correctly, you are about to transition from short term to long term disability. The monetary payment will decrease slightly but the insurance benefits will stay the same for up to 12 months. Ask. Ask. Ask.

Homesick, I just sent you a PM. Please respond when you get a chance. Thank You.

I have called Teamcare many times. U have 26 weeks on short term disability. U can get a new 26 weeks, but you must return to work for 30 days if it’s the same disability or 1 day if it’s a different disability. I can’t go back at all, because no doctor will pass me with 2 dead hips

Do you have to return to regular duty or can you be placed on light duty?
