I worked for 10 years as an actuary for an insurance company after college. I then stayed at home to raise our children for 15 years. In 2011, I decided to start working on my high school math teaching degree. I was diagnosed with MS in 2012, but started teaching in 2014 (I was still doing very well). I was being treating by a DMD at the time of hire.
I have now been teaching for 4 years, and this will most likely have to be my last (MS is not doing a very good job on me, and have transitioned into Secondary Progressive). I have about 7 months available sick time and STD. I don’t think I qualify for SSDI because I haven’t been working continuously for the most recent 10 years. My LTD policy has a 3/12 look back, but pays to retirement (I am 52). My question is – do I have any long term disability options?
Thanks.
