I really think that this is a contracts question more than an insurance question. It goes back to your employment agreement with the company and I do not think it has anything to do with your being on disability at all. Do you have the right to perform these duties for another employer under the terms of your contract? Does being on disability alter the terms of the contract under the contract? I would take the contract to an attorney to interpret with you before you take on this other job. Disability means you can not perform the duties of your position. But are you performing them elsewhere? That may be insurance fraud as well. Tread lightly. Good luck.
