DISABILITY INSURANCE
Protect your income when a disabling injury or illness keeps you away from work.
Disability insurance pays a benefit to help replace income lost if you are not able to work because of a disabling illness or injury. Having adequate disability insurance can give you some peace of mind, knowing that you and your family are prepared for whatever may arise.
The company provides eligible employees with Short-Term Disability. You will want to consider your financial situation and decide if you might need Long-Term Disability coverage, based on your unique circumstances. Having enough disability protection means you will have fewer financial worries and can focus on regaining your health and getting back to work.
