What You Need to Know About Short-Term Disability

Florida does not require that workers receive short-term disability pay during a temporary absence from work. Some businesses and employers in Florida have short-term disability insurance policies that pay workers a portion of their salary if they have to take short-term disability because of an injury or illness. But paid short-term disability is not required. A short-term disability may be a diagnosed as a psychological impairment, or a medically recognizable physical injury such as a back injury, stroke, heart attack, broken bones or certain diseases that make it difficult for a person to function.

Under the federal American Family and Medical Leave Act, you may be eligible to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave from work without risking the loss of your job, if you have a health condition that causes a short-term disability or you need to care for an ill spouse or relative. FMLA applies to employees of public agencies, all public and private elementary and secondary schools and private companies which have 50 or more employees. Social Security does not provide short-term disability assistance.

A disabled worker may qualify for Social Security disability benefits (SSDI) if their disability is estimated to prevent them from working for at least 12 months. But Social Security has strict rules about what qualifies as a disability.

How Can I Afford to Hire a Short-Term Disability Benefits Lawyer?

During an initial consultation, which is free, we will review the specifics of your accident and discuss your legal options. If we determine that we can handle your case, we will represent you on a contingent fee basis. You will not be charged for legal fees or costs unless we obtain compensation for you through a settlement or court award. At that time, the fee for our legal representation will come from a percentage of the final award.
