When you have an employee ready to apply for LTD, simply have them call The Standard at (844) 505-6026 to submit the employee statement via telephone. Then you – the HR representative – fill out the short Employer Statement and email it to ltdmosers@standard.com and The Standard will take care of the rest (reaching out to the physician and collecting medical records)!

Please remember to NEVER e-mail paper applications to MOSERS or The Standard. They contain your employee’s health information and also their full name, address and Social Security number. Emailing this type of information poses risks to all parties involved, especially the member. For more information on this new LTD application process, please watch the LTD webinar put together by The Standard to illustrate the most effective way to file for LTD benefits.

Please do not send LTD packets to MOSERS or The Standard via unencrypted email due to the sensitivity of the personal data involved. Rather than emailing forms, please instruct employees to call in their claims to The Standard at (844)-505-6026. We appreciate your cooperation. Thank you!
