LEAVE OF ABSENCE & DISABILITY INSURANCE
Resources
Leave of Absence
At some point during your employment, you may need to request a leave of absence, for a variety of reasons: from personal or family health problems, the birth or adoption of a child, to qualifying exigency reasons arising from your family member’s military deployment.

You can easily report a claim/leave and check its status through Lincoln Financial Group’s dedicated secure website or by telephone.
