This will depend on the type of private benefits your policy provides you. If 100% of your monthly benefit is considered "base" benefit, than you will NOT have to repay any benefits. However if part of your benefits are "social insurance" or "social security offset" benefits, than this portion of benefits will offset dollar-for-dollar with any social security benefits received. In this circumstance you would be required to repay the amount of benefit you received from social security, up to the full amount of social offset benefit your policy provides.
I would think not unless you had a SS offset rider on the policy. Check with your agent!
An insurance company can't force you to do anything. But, dependent on your policy, they could deny your claim or terminate benefits based on medical non-compliance.
If you had active coverage under your group short-term disability or long-term disability plan on November 9, 2007, then you may be eligible for benefits. You will have to find out what insurance company handled your disability benefits during that period of time, and then follow-up with them. Whether you are actually eligible for benefits will depend on the contract your employer had/has with this insurance company. Some contracts have late filing penalties, some have clauses regarding termination of employment, etc. Long story short - call that insurance company. You may be eligible for disability benefits.

Yes, it is very common for disability insurance plans to include a clause for social security disability, meaning the insurance company will pay a portion of the monthly benefit, expecting that you would apply for social security benefits to pay for the "Supplemental Social Security benefits". In the event you get declined by Social Security, then the insurance company would cover the additional supplemental benefits. Employer group plans as well as individual disability insurance plans can include that clause.
Your individual disability insurance policy is portable and benefits will not be affected by moving to a different state. If you have disability insurance through your employer, and move in a new state while working for the same employer, benefits will not be changed. However, if you leave your employer, you may lose the disability insurance benefits through a group DI policy. If you are currently disabled and are receiving disability benefits from the state, you will have to check with the new state regulations on social security DI; If you are receiving benefits through a personal/ individual insurance policy from an insurance company, then benefits are not going to be affected by the state of residence.
Generally, insurance policies exclude suicide. Check with your insurance company, as they are all different.

The physical Disability insurance contract provided by the insurance company will have all of the information needed to determine whether they will want their money back if a claimant is eligible for Social-Security (SS) benefits. If you have Disability insurance under a group policy (through work), there is a good chance that they will want a refund for benefits paid on any month that you were eligible and receive SS benefits. This will often be described very clearly in the contract. Group contracts will often offset your benefits, dollar-for-dollar (100%) with an benefits received from SS and family SS. In order to be sure, simply reference the contract you have. With individual Disability coverage you should know if any of your benefits will offset with SS benefits. Benefits are classified as "Base benefits", which do not offset or "Social Insurance benefits" which is an optional rider you can add to your coverage and will offset dollar-for-dollar with SS benefits. This information will be found in your original contract. In order to know for sure, you should reference the contract. *There are many different names for the Social insurance rider. Every company has their own variation, but the conditions are similar.
Their should be no problem. I would double check with your insurance company as their may be some variation by company and state. Be well.
