As long as you're still on the payroll of the company, your group term life insurance policy should still be active.

What happens to your health insurance once short term disability runs out?
Health insurance and disability insurance (short or long-term) do not affect eachother. While health insurance pays for medical expenses reimbursement, disability insurance pays to replace your income lost due to healthconditions.
Can your employer cancel your health insurance when you are on short term or long term disability because you did not make a payment on your insurance like is normally done through your paycheck?
Your employer's obligation to pay premiums normally stops when your paycheck does, that is, when your medical and personal leave is exhausted, and there is nothing left to deduct the premiums with. When that happens, the insurance company, not your employer, cancels your health insurance for lack of premiums. There are many ways to avoid this tragedy, including donation of leave by co-workers, if permitted, to keep the paychecks coming, or employer paying premiums for you until you are able to return to work. Good luck. JJ

If the life insurance was provided by your employer and your employment is terminated, you will lose the life insurance protection. You should look into individual life insurance, which you can take with you if your employment terminates.

If you were being paid in cash, it's possible your employer was not paying workman's comp insurance, disability, or unemployment, etc. on you. If your employer was not holding out any taxes on you, and if you didn't report those earnings, you need to check on that before applying for benefits. Otherwise, you can be charged with tax evasion, depending on how long you were being paid in cash, and if you paid taxes on it or not.

What happens to life insurance obtained through your employer when health problems force you to go on disability?
Luckily, most employer sponsored group Life insurance policies allow for participants to convert their Life insurance under specific circumstances (i.e. if their job is terminated, they leave the company, or leave the company on Disability claim). In order to take advantage of this opportunity, the insured/participant or his/her family members should contact the employer or insurance company providing the coverage and request paperwork needed to convert the coverage. Most likely you will only be given once option which is to convert the coverage to Whole Life insurance.Due to the fact that all participants (both very healthy or very unhealthy) are able to do this without going through medical underwriting, insurance companies charge very high premiums for this conversion privilege. This is done to protect them from the risk associated. Clearly a healthy person will not take advantage of this because they can obtain coverage for less elsewhere. Someone who has no other option will however, and this normally will end in a death claim.

What happens if you inadvertantly misstate about your parents health on a individual disability insurance application?
If the misstatement is significant, then the insurer can revoke your insurance. Generally, they have two years to discover the misstatement and revoke your insurance. They might discover the information when you submit a claim; this is when they would take the time to verify your application data. At that point, they could refuse to pay your claim. This would not be a good time to find out that you have no disability insurance -- when you need it. Your best bet is to call the agent and correct the error. Better to know now whether it will affect your coverage.
