Inside Short-term
Disability Insurance
Short-term disability insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to a temporary illness or injury.
The coverage helps replace a portion of an individual’s income during the period of disability. The amount and duration of benefits vary depending on the specific policy. Coverage helps:
- Protects your paycheck up to a certain amount
- Covers mental illness and substance abuse
- Provides flexibility to choose a plan that fits you
- Allows you to maintain your lifestyle until you’re back on your feet
Even if you have disability insurance through your workplace, coverage may be limited and may not provide the income you need to meet your obligations.
Or perhaps you are in a highly specialized field like the medical profession and need coverage that will be suited to your occupation.
If you are self-employed, securing short-term disability insurance adds to your peace of mind.
