Who will report disability benefits for the claimant?
We will prepare and forward Form W-2s for LTD benefits that we pay. If LTD benefits are paid during a return-to-work FICA period and if the policyholder requests, Assurant Employee Benefits will allow the policyholder to prepare and forward Form W-2s reporting the LTD benefits paid during the return-to-work FICA period. The policyholder is responsible for preparing the Form W-2s for STD benefits paid unless the policyholder has requested, in writing, that Assurant Employee Benefits prepare the Form W-2s reporting STD benefits paid.

The policyholder’s request that Assurant Employee Benefits prepare the Form W-2s reporting STD benefits paid must be received prior to the end of the calendar year. The Form W-2s prepared by us show Assurant Employee Benefits’ name and federal EIN and are mailed directly to the claimant’s home address. We do not mail copies of the
