The Basics of a Disability Income Insurance Policy

Help Protect Your Income

Disability income insurance provides benefits to help replace a portion of your income if you’re sick or injured and unable to work. It’s financial protection that helps you focus more on your recovery and less on how you’ll cover expenses.

In addition to your income, here are some of the most important things in your life that disability income insurance helps protect:

  • Your home
  • Your retirement
  • Your family
  • Your personal savings
  • Your lifestyle

Disability Insurance

Your family, your home, your lifestyle. All the things that are most important to you. If you became sick or injured and unable to work, how would you protect the way you and your family live?

The fact is, sicknesses and injuries can happen. When you’re unable to work, your income stops but your expenses don’t. If you don’t have other sources of income available or may not have enough other income available, a disability income insurance policy can help offset the loss of your working income.

Disability income insurance can replace a portion of your income and help provide a sense of security if the unexpected happens. And that risk may be more common than you think.

43% of all current 40-year-olds will have a disability event lasting 90 days or more by the time they’re 65.

So how do you know if disability income insurance is right for you?
