Disability Insurance
Disability insurance is critical in ensuring your income is protected if you can no longer work due to an injury or illness.
What Is Disability Insurance?
Disability insurance replaces a portion of your income if an injury or illness keeps you from working — and for a business owner or key employee, your income is the engine everything else runs on. There are two types: short term disability (STD), with a waiting period of 0 to 14 days and a maximum benefit period of no longer than two years, and long term disability (LTD), with a waiting period of several weeks to several months and benefits that can run from a few years to the rest of your life. The honest truth is that most people skip this coverage because the terms are confusing — non-cancelable, guaranteed renewable, residual riders, COLA adjustments — and they give up rather than sort it out. That's what we're here for: we'll walk you through the options in plain English and find the right policy for your needs and budget.
Why Disability Insurance Matters
If your paycheck stopped tomorrow, how long could your household — or your business — run on savings? People insure their cars and buildings without blinking, then leave the income that pays for all of it unprotected. Disability coverage makes sure an injury or illness doesn't take your house payment down with your health.
Who Needs Disability Insurance?
Anyone whose household depends on their paycheck — and especially self-employed people, business owners, and tradespeople who have no employer group coverage to fall back on. If you work with your hands or your business can't run without you, this coverage deserves a serious look.
