Recently, Attorney Troy Rosasco of the New York Disability Law Firm Turley, Redmond, Rosasco and Rosasco, was asked to give his legal advice in Newsday’s “Help Wanted” column. The column, run by business reporter Carrie Mason-Draffen, is the “Dear Abby” of work-related issues.
One Reader wrote in to the column to ask whether or not it is legal for a long-term disability insurance company to reduce monthly payments to workers if they are also receiving social security benefits. In short, Mr. Rosasco’s answer was that unfortunately it is legal. His full explanation as to why it is legal can be read in the column here.
Over the years, Mr. Rosasco has been quoted in many other Newsday articles as well as numerous media periodicals about the disabled worker and disability law. He is a much sought after resource for his expert legal knowledge of social security disability, workers’ compensation and the 9/11 Zadroga Bill.
