What is Disability Income Insurance?

Disability Income Insurance is a form of insurance that insures the beneficiary’s earned income against the risk that a disability will make working, and therefore earning money, impossible. It includes paid sick leave, short-term disability benefits, and long-term disability benefits.

Who Needs Disability Income Insurance?

More than a quarter of today’s 20-year-olds will become disabled, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA). It does not have to be a freak injury that prevents you from working – back injuries, cancer, heart disease or other illnesses are the majority of the reasons for long-term absences.

Are you prepared if you can’t work due to a long-term disability? The average long-term disability last 2 1/2 years; do you have the emergency savings to survive that long without an income? If not, you need to make sure you have disability insurance.
