Would I be able to return to work part-time, and continue to receive a benefit, after being totally disabled but before I was allowed to return to my full-time job?
Yes. It is very desirable to have disabled workers return to productive employment as soon as medically possible. With your doctor’s permission, a partial return to work might be appropriate as healing takes place, allowing you increased strength for greater activity. There might also be a work phase as part of a professionally developed rehabilitation plan, intended to help you get back into the job stream. In either case, the normal benefit for total disability would be offset by 70% of the income earned from your partial return to work. It is important to notify your Liberty Mutual Disability Case Manager and Concordia Plan Services of part-time earnings so your benefit amount can be accurately calculated and paid.
