Disability Insurance Basics
According to the Social Security Administration it is estimated that 25% of people will become disabled before they retire. This is a staggering statistic, and the probability of injury goes up in more dangerous professions. The question that needs to be asked is how long will you be able to continue your lifestyle should you become disabled? Think of disability insurance as a safety net. Should you become unable to perform the core functions of your work, disability insurance will replace your paycheck.
Types of disability insurance
Short Term Disability
This is coverage that will protect you for a short time. Think 3-6 months.
Long Term Disability
This is coverage that will protect you for years, and sometimes even decades. Because of the way disability plans work, a lot of policies pair short term and long term disability together.
