Do I really need disability insurance?
If you rely on your income to pay the bills, support your family, or save for the future, disability insurance is worth considering. Most people are surprised by how common disabling events are, even for healthy adults.
How does disability insurance work?
You pay regular premiums, and if you become disabled and can’t work, your policy pays you a portion of your lost income. It helps you keep life on track while you recover.
What’s the difference between short-term and long-term disability insurance?
Short-term disability usually covers a few months up to a year, while long-term disability can last several years, or even until retirement age. They often work best together.
How much does disability insurance cost?
It depends on your age, health, occupation, and the amount of coverage you want. Many people find it’s more affordable than they expect, especially when considering the peace of mind it brings.
Does disability insurance cover all medical conditions?
It depends on the policy. Some conditions may have waiting periods, limitations, or exclusions. We’ll review the details so there are no surprises.
Is disability insurance through my employer enough?
It’s a good start, but it’s often limited and may not follow you if you change jobs. Having your own policy ensures consistent protection.
How long will disability benefits last?
That depends on the policy you choose. Some last just months, while others can provide income until you reach retirement age.
Is disability insurance taxable?
If you pay the premiums with after-tax dollars, your benefits are usually tax-free. If your employer pays for it, benefits may be taxable.
