Important information for filing your COVID-19 claim

  • You will need this information in order to file a claim:

    • Your company control number. Up to 5-digits, this number can be found on information provided to you by your employer, your STD brochure and/or all disability communications. If you cannot locate your group control number, please contact your employer. You need this number to register online and report your COVID-19 claim.
    • Your last day worked and your first day out due to COVID-19.
    • Your diagnosis of COVID-19 and/or symptoms related to COVID-19.
    • Employee ID or Social Security number.
    • Address and telephone number. We recommend providing your cell phone number so we can send you updates quickly and conveniently via text message.
    • Doctor’s name, phone number, and fax (if available).
    • Any underlying conditions you may have.
    • Expected return to work date, meaning if you know when your physician feels you would be able to return to work.

  • If Prudential administers a state-mandated disability benefit on behalf of your employer, filing a claim for disability with Prudential may also qualify as filing for that state-mandated benefit. In addition, you may be entitled to additional disability benefits through your employer or your state. Please check with your employer for information on whether you are entitled to additional benefits and, if so, how to apply for any such benefits.
