Employer not turning pay amounts to Disability Insurance

I worked for a company and purchase a Disability insurance throught them. It was suppose to help maintain the lifestyle we are in at the time of Disability. When I became disabled my company had not been turning in quartley amounts correctly. When I became disabled I was making 12.69 and hour. When the insurance co notified me of the amount i would recieve it only equaled to 1071.00 a month I was making more than that. The insurance company can only go by what the employer sent in. When i asked the woman at human resources she admitted she hadnt turned it in. I am Perm Disabled. Can I sue the company for not doing there part in the insurance. I became disabled June 16 2000. by my calculations I should have been recieving 2284.00 a month before taxes or even after taxes on the 2284.00 is a long ways away from 1071.00
