EEK! New company merged my benefit plans and terminated my employment

The corporation I was disabled from was acquired by a larger company. This new company merged benefit plans. I lost some benefits and they changed my employment status to "terminated". Can they do this?

Default Re: New company merged my benefit plans and terminated my employment

Without much detail, I would say that they probably can do that. It is legal to say you are terminated if you are unable to do your job and are getting disability benefits. It is also legal for benefits to change, assuming that is provided for in the original insurance contract. The contract is between the insurer and the employer and usually, the terms of the contract are favorable to the insurer and employer, even though they provide a benefit to the employee. However, this really gets into state contract law and you should contact an attorney in your state for a more detailed answer. Best of luck to you.
