    Default Unemployment AND Disability

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Florida
    I was recently laid off of my job due to economic reasons and am on cobra. I am starting to receive unemployment benefits. I am having some heart issues and may have to have a procedure that would leave me unable to collect unemploymnet or be available for work for several months. Will I be able to draw short term disability and how do I go about filing for it?

    That would be up to the terms of your short term disability policy.

    There is no state disability program in Florida (or in 44 other states). If your employer offered a disability benefit, they will have to tell you if it will still cover you for a claim that you do not submit until after your layoff. I think it is doubtful but it's always worth a try. If they determine that you are eligible, they will have to tell you how to file a claim since it's policy-specific.

    I assume you don't have your own individual STD policy?
