Disability Insurance

Disability Income

If you owned the goose that laid the golden egg, would you insure the goose or the eggs? YOU are that goose bringing home that paycheck. You insure your home, auto, collectibles, boat, but not your paycheck. Where will your money come from if you can't work due to an illness or accident?

Disability income is one of the most important coverages for you and your family. We will give you the money to keep the house going, pay the bills, put food on the table, and allow you the time to get well without the burden of going back to work too soon. Statistics show that people with disability income insurance recover from illness and accident faster, because we give them the time that they need.

Do I need disability insurance?

Everyone who works and earns a living probably needs disability insurance. At any age before 65, you are more likely to be disabled (meaning at least 90 days out of work) than you are to die prematurely. More people lose their homes because of disability without coverage than they do because of sudden death. If you suddenly became disabled and were unable to work, could you still meet your financial obligations? Could you get by without having to use savings or borrow from relatives? If not, you'll want to make sure that you have adequate disability insurance coverage that is designed to pay your expenses while you are disabled and cannot work.

Because you have to meet a strict definition of disability to qualify for benefits from government programs (e.g., Social Security), you shouldn't rely on them as your only sources of income if you became disabled. Instead, find out if you have group disability insurance through your employer. It may be paid for by the company, or you may pay part of the premium. If disability coverage is not available at work or if you are self-employed, you should consider purchasing an individual policy from a private insurer. Most policies pay between 50 and 70 percent of your gross income and can last anywhere from a couple of months to age 65.
