What Is Disability Insurance?

Disability insurance is designed to replace a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. Whether you’re out for weeks or years, it helps you stay on track financially while you recover.

Key features of a Disability Insurance policy:

  • Short-term or long-term coverage options
  • Monthly benefit payments (often 50–70% of your income)
  • Covers illnesses, injuries, and recovery periods
  • May be available through employers or private carriers

It Might Not Be Ideal If You…
  • Already have full income coverage through work
  • Are already retired or financially independent
  • Premiums don’t fit your budget and risk profile
  • Prefer to rely on emergency funds for income gaps
Searching for the right life insurance

You choose a policy based on how much income you want to replace and how long you want benefits to last (e.g., 2 years, 5 years, or until retirement age, depending on the policy).

If you become disabled and can’t work, your policy pays a monthly benefit after a short waiting period—helping you cover expenses while you recover.

Benefits:

  • Customizable plans to fit your budget and profession
  • Tax-free income if you can’t work due to illness or injury
  • Short- and long-term coverage options
  • Optional riders for more personalized protection
