Disability Insurance
Disability Insurance is used when you get in an accident
and cannot work. Disability insurance will provide you with money in
case you became disabled or are unable to work. This insurance helps
to protect you and your family from suffering from financial strain
due to serious illness or injury.
Disability Insurance will generally pay you a percentage
of your income each week or month until you become well enough to work
again. There is a waiting period before disability insurance will kick
in. This period is usually between 30 and 90 days.
The waiting period is in place to show that you truly
will not be able to return to work. Many disability insurance policies
will cover you throughout your working life, or until you reach retirement
age. Other policies have a limit on the number of years they will pay
disability benefits.
