Thanks Clarissa, I've provided some more background information because I'm a bit more confused and I need advice on what actions to take next. I have already requested clarification on the last question concerning who funds the insurance premiums from my employer and the third-party they used, and unfortunately haven't gotten a clear answer from either.
My former employer is a health insurance company. All insurance premiums and deductions before and during my short-term disability leave were already applied by my employer prior to receiving any payment/paychecks. I was also enrolled in my employer's/company's health, dental, vision, life insurance plans, etc. The checks I received for my short-term disability payments were sent by the third-party vendor used by my employer, but according to payroll documents, were funded by my employer.
During my long-term leave however, no deductions were made (such as medical, dental, vision, life, disability, retirement, state and federal income taxes, Social Security, etc.) and I paid out-of-pocket for my medical insurance premiums. The checks I received from the third-party vendor may have been funded by the third-party as payroll documents don't show any movements in earnings and deductions for them majority of 2022. Please let me know if there are any details that I could include that may help find a resolution.
Thanks again!
