Disability Plan Administrator Did Not Err In Terminating Claimant's Benefits

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A disability plan administrator did not act arbitrarily and capriciously in terminating a claimant's short-term disability (STD) benefits because the medical evidence supports the plan administrator's decision, an Alabama federal magistrate judge said Jan. 9, noting that the claimant's benefits were extended for an additional seven months after the claimant's second appeal (D'Anza Johnson v. AT&T Umbrella Benefit Plan No. 3, No. 15-1074, N.D. Ala., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 3379).
