“New Process” for Submitting Medical Information

What the University can’t do directly via legal routes, they are attempting to do indirectly under the pretext of protecting your privacy (Law 25). Members are now asked to consent to disclosing their private medical information by submitting it through this “new process.”

We are currently in arbitration and negotiation for this very question. The University believes that they can demand this information and decide whether or not it is sufficient to allow you to access Short Term Disability benefits. By this, the University is not only putting into question the competency of your medical professional, but also your right to privacy.

We are directing all members NOT to use this process. We are looking into what legal recourse is available to us and what our next steps are.
