Disability Income.
Most people insure their homes and their cars. Fewer insure the income that pays for all of it. Disability income insurance replaces a portion of your earnings if you’re unable to work due to injury or illness.
Protection When You Can't Work.
If you were unable to work for 3 months, 6 months, or longer, how would your family manage? Disability income insurance is designed to answer that question before it becomes a crisis.
Short-Term Disability
Short-term disability coverage begins quickly after a disabling event and provides income replacement during the early weeks of recovery — bridging the gap between your emergency savings and longer-term needs.
Long-Term Disability
Long-term disability coverage kicks in after a waiting period and can provide income replacement for years — or until retirement age — if a serious illness or injury keeps you out of work long-term. It's the coverage most people don't think about until they need it.
Own-Occupation vs. Any-Occupation
Disability definitions vary significantly between policies. 'Own-occupation' coverage pays if you can't perform your specific job; 'any-occupation' pays only if you can't work at all. The difference matters enormously in practice. We explain it clearly before you decide.
