Working remotely and long term disability.

Charla C. on October 31, 2023

Career Management, Work/Life/Cancer Balance

If you're receiving long term disability from a job, can you work remotely from home with another job? I'm a teacher and can't make that hour drive to work and another hour to receive treatment, so I get long term disability. But I need the extra income and want to work from home part-time. Is that possible without losing my long term disability?

Cancer and Careers Staff Comment:

Hello Charla,


 


Thank you for reaching out to Cancer and Careers! Unfortunately I can't say for sure what would and would not be acceptable as I believe it is based on the specificaions of your long-term disability policy. I'd get in touch with the policy provider to make sure you understand the parameters of your plan. If you do find you are able to work part-time with your plan, feel free to reach out to us if you'd like any help looking for a remote position and if you need any assistance with your resume through our Resume Review Service, or if you just have any job search-related questioins.


 


Warm regards,


Nicole Jarvis, LMSW
