Your ability to earn an income is your greatest financial asset. According to the Social Security Administration, one in four 20-year-olds will experience a disability lasting at least 90 days before reaching retirement age. Most of these disabilities are caused by illnesses like cancer, heart disease, or musculoskeletal conditions — not accidents.
Without income protection, even a short-term loss of earnings can quickly lead to financial strain. Disability insurance is designed to bridge that gap, keeping your financial goals on track.
If you become disabled and unable to work, your policy pays a monthly benefit — typically a percentage of your pre-disability income — directly to you. You can use this money however you need:
Unlike workers’ compensation, disability income insurance covers you both on and off the job and protects against illnesses as well as injuries.
