Eligibility for long-term leave through Metlife typically depends on the specific terms and conditions set forth by the employer’s benefits plan. Generally speaking, paid employees may qualify for long-term leave if their employer has a policy in place that includes such benefits. This often involves circumstances such as illness, injury, or other substantial life events that require an extended absence from work. Metlife offers various absence management services that support employers in managing these leaves, including disability benefits. To determine individual eligibility, it is essential for employees to review their specific employer's leave policies and guidelines. This information can often be found on the employer's human resources website or by accessing documents provided during onboarding. Should there be any needs for clarification or additional details, it is advisable for employees to refer to their human resources department or the relevant section in the employer's benefits package for more information.
