I’ve been on maternity leave for a month now and had never received any checks for short term disability. So I called the Reed group, who have been handling my claim, and they told me my STD and maternity pay was denied. I had just talked to another rep last week and was told it was approved. The recent rep told me to call my HR to see if they can do anything, which I did. I was under the impression that my maternity leave would be paid, and my HR never told me otherwise. I even have paperwork that stated that I hit so many hours and was then eligible for this benefit. I am not paying for any insurance through Target; I am on my husband’s plan. I also do not have any vacation or sick hours to use
She called and told me today that I was denied STD, according to Reed, because I delivered my baby a week earlier than the original submitted due date. She’s going to keep talking to them to see if anything else can be done. I’m so pissed. Don’t they allow a time frame for if babies come early or late? I worked that day I delivered, a day before my official leave was to start. The Reed group sent me paperwork about why I was denied, and it was just a chart of FMLA and short term disability and the hours required, and that I was Ineligible for both. Nothing was stated about my having delivered early.
I am just upset and confused by the back and forth and the misinformation. I am set to return to my store before Black Friday, so I hope this gets resolved, or else I will have to rethink my decision to come back. Has anyone else had issues with the Reed group? Any advice or tips you care to share?
