Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I turned in my resignation at work, however, they know my situation and have put me on FMLA/short term disability instead. It will last for 12 weeks and allows me to still receive some income and also keep my current insurance.
I know I need to apply for SSDI and make do with the 5 month waiting period. It won't be easy. However, I wanted to ask if I should apply now, while on medical leave, or wait until my medical leave is up? I'm wondering if I'd be denied by applying now, while I'm technically employed even though I'm not actively working.
I'm not planning to return to work unless there's some miracle that causes me to get better. I'd really appreciate some advice, I don't want to risk being denied and having to appeal... My goal is to reduce stress, not create more!
TIA for your wisdom!
