Disability Benefits Offset Permitted Under Policy At Issue, Federal Judge Says

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. - A Pennsylvania federal judge on March 28 dismissed a disability claimant's suit arising out of an offset applied to long-term disability benefits because the policy at issue clearly allows the insurer to offset benefits by the amount of benefits the claimant's children receive from the Social Security Administration (Anthony Patchell et al., v. Cigna Health and Life Insurance Co., et al., No. 17-161, W.D. Pa.).
