Our program aims to alleviate the stress associated with managing medical leave claims, allowing clients to concentrate on their treatment and recovery process. We provide comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from understanding eligibility requirements to filing claims and managing documentation.
What is Short Term Disability (STD) Assistance?
STD Assistance involves helping clients navigate the processes of applying for and managing Family and Medical Leave benefits. STD provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for specified family and medical reasons.
The goal of our STD Assistance program is to ensure that you receive the necessary support and benefits to cover your medical leave and recovery period. This includes helping you understand your rights and responsibilities, assisting with the completion of necessary forms and documentation, and providing ongoing support throughout the claims process.
Our Approach
At Southern Live Oak Wellness, our approach to STD Assistance is client-focused and thorough. We begin with an initial consultation to assess your needs and eligibility for STD benefits. Our team then guides you through the application process, ensuring that all required documentation is accurately completed and submitted on time.
We work closely with you, your employer, and healthcare providers to coordinate the necessary paperwork and communications. Our team also provides education on the rights and protections afforded by STD, empowering clients to advocate for themselves and navigate the process with confidence. Ongoing support is provided to address any issues or questions that arise during the leave period.

Benefits of STD Assistance
STD assistance offers numerous benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety associated with managing medical leave and disability claims. By having a dedicated team to handle the administrative aspects, clients can focus on their recovery without the added burden of navigating complex processes.
Additionally, our program ensures that clients receive the benefits they are entitled to, which can provide financial stability and peace of mind during their recovery. Understanding and accessing these benefits can make a significant difference in a client’s ability to take the necessary time off work to focus on their health and treatment.
Who Can Benefit?
STD Assistance is beneficial for individuals who need to take medical leave due to a serious health condition, including mental health and substance use disorders. It is particularly valuable for clients who are unsure of their eligibility or are overwhelmed by the application process.
This service is also ideal for clients who are currently in treatment and need support in managing their leave and disability claims. By providing comprehensive assistance, we help ensure that clients can take the necessary time off work without fear of losing their job or income.
