How To Insure Yourself Against Loss Income

Did you know that 43% of people over the age 40 have long-term disability of 90 days or more by their 65th birthday? It is true. Below are ways the three-disability insurance can replace your income:

Employer-paid disability insurance

This disability insurance most states make mandatory. It provides you short-term sick leave from most businesses. Larger businesses are more likely to provide long-term disability coverage in addition to short-term leave. The benefits have the potential to be 60% of your salary. It can last from 5 years until you are 65 years of age.

Social Security Disability Benefits

If your disability is expected to last 12months or more, you can be paid from this type of disability insurance. You are likely to receive this type of disability insurance if there is no potential for you to obtain gainful employment within that time period.
