Disability Income Insurance
Protect part of your income if a covered illness or injury keeps you from working. We help you understand disability income insurance clearly, compare options, and choose coverage that fits your situation.
Disability income insurance is designed to help replace part of your income when you cannot work due to a covered disability. We explain waiting periods, benefit amounts, and policy definitions in simple language.
Coverage, definitions, benefit amounts, waiting periods, and approval vary by policy and underwriting.
The basics of disability income insurance
Disability income insurance may pay a monthly benefit if you cannot work because of a covered illness or injury, based on the policy rules. People often use this coverage to help with rent or mortgage payments, utilities, groceries, and other ongoing household expenses when income stops or drops.
