Rhea-AI Summary
Sun Life U.S. has endorsed the Workers' Disability Benefits Parity Act, introduced by Congressmen Mark DeSaulnier and Robert Scott, which aims to enhance long-term disability insurance coverage for mental health conditions. The legislation would require mental health conditions to be covered similarly to physical conditions in long-term disability insurance, removing the typical 24-month cap on mental health benefits. Dan Fishbein, president of Sun Life U.S., emphasized that mental health conditions can be as disabling as physical ones and supports establishing a uniform federal standard for equal coverage. The company believes this legislative solution will ensure better coverage for workers while maintaining a sustainable disability insurance market, ultimately helping more people access necessary mental healthcare and support for returning to work.
