thawk,
Thank you for your reply. I assume SSDI figured the back pay from diagnosis date? Did they (long term insurance company) take from you the whole lump sum you received from SSDI backpay? (from diagnosis date?)
If SSDI paid a lump sum from the diagnosis date, then were you able to keep the amount that SSDI paid out for the first 6 months of your cancer? (in which you received short term disability?). I guess the real questions are, did you have to pay back the full backpay amount, or just the amount from when long term started paying?
