Short-term disability insurance helps protect your paycheck when an illness or injury temporarily keeps you from working.
It provides monthly income that can help you keep up with your mortgage or rent, groceries, utilities, car payments and other everyday expenses while you recover.
Because even when you're temporarily unable to work, the bills don't take time off.
You insure your home, your car and other things you've worked hard for. But your income is what makes all of those things possible. Short-term disability insurance helps protect a portion of that income if you're temporarily unable to work.
The income you receive can help you continue paying regular monthly expenses while you recover—without immediately turning to savings, retirement accounts or other assets to make ends meet.
Think about the expenses that would continue if you were temporarily unable to work—housing, utilities, groceries, car payments, debt payments and other everyday needs.
Your income supports nearly everything else in your financial life—from paying today's bills to saving for tomorrow. Protecting a portion of that income can help keep your financial plans on track while you recover.
Can't comfortably afford enough coverage to replace as much income as you'd like? Start by protecting some of your biggest monthly expenses. Some income protection can still make a meaningful difference.
