Disability Insurance
If you get sick or injured and are unable to work, the last thing you want to worry about is paying your bills or wondering where money will come from for gas, groceries and living expenses. You can think of Disability Insurance as income protection because it can help replace a portion of your paycheck.
Disability Insurance may make sense for you if:
• You don’t have a large amount of savings or other sources of income available.
• You depend on your income to support your lifestyle.
• You can’t afford to be out of work for weeks or months at a time.
How Disability Insurance Works
Being unable to work doesn’t mean draining your bank account or other savings accounts.
If you have Disability Insurance and become unable to work due to injury or illness, you can file a claim with Plan IV and begin collecting benefits while on leave from your job.
Disability Insurance can help provide for you and your loved ones while you’re on leave. Depending on your plan, you could receive payments of up to 60% of your salary through disability coverage. Benefits can be used as you see fit, to cover things like rent, car payments, day-to-day expenses or out-of-pocket treatment costs.
Short Term Disability Insurance
After surgery, childbirth or other covered situations, Short Term Disability Insurance can be a helping hand while you’re out of work. Your plan could pay a portion of your income if you can’t work for several weeks due to a covered injury or illness.
Long Term Disability Insurance
If you’re out of work for a longer period of time due to a serious illness or accident, Long Term Disability Insurance can help you maintain financial independence. The length of coverage depends on your plan.
Individual Disability Insurance
If you earn a higher salary, or you rely on bonuses or commissions, Individual Disability Insurance can supplement Long Term Disability Insurance and provide higher levels of income protection coverage if you experience a covered disability and are out of work.
