term disability insurance from work claim questions

I was hospitalized for 2 weeks w/o pay and I filed a claim since I opted for this type of insurance from my workplace. I am thinking about leaving my job but I just filed my claim. Would that cancel my pending claim if I leave the job? I have a considerable hospital bill that was partly paid by my workplace health insurance already but I read that I can use my short term disability insurance to get some cash to pay off the remainder not paid for by my health insurance.Thanksedit: chicago illinois is my loc if that matters via /r/Insurance https://ift.tt/3neVkWN
