To Rich or others who have received similar requests.
I've been receiving SSID & LTD for 2 yrs. Recently I received a letter from the LTD provider that included a brief form; a "Consent for Release of Information" which they would provide to the Social Security Admin., so that the LTD office or their designated rep could obtain needed information, without any further action on my part, to conduct a routine review of my Social Security offset.
The LTD company wants this release of information to ensure that they (the LTD company) are administering my benefits correctly as they continue to manage my disability claim.
Is this common practice for LTD providers? I just wonder why, if this is a legitimate request, that the form requests personal info, i.e. DOB, SSN? Wouldn't the LTD provider already have that personal info and just send me a form that required my consent signature? I'm just skeptical, and aware of many of the scams that are around these days.
Thanks so much for any responses.
