Why do you need Short Term disability Income insurance?

If illness or injury kept you from bringing home a paycheck, how would your family make ends meet? Disability income insurance can help. It replaces some of your lost income so you can continue to pay your mortgage, utilities, childcare, and other everyday expenses.


Insure what you earn - You insure your home and your car—but your income and earning potential are more valuable than any possession. Think of disability income insurance as protection for your paycheck.


Keep finances on track - If you’re unable to work, the money from disability income insurance can help you avoid draining savings or retirement accounts.   While you’re recovering, you can use the money to help you cover regular monthly bills, like your mortgage, car payment, credit cards, groceries and other expenses. 


Paycheck protection is a simple insurance policy that gives you money if, in the future, you are totally disabled and can’t work due to an illness or injury.
