The Basics of a Disability Income Insurance Policy

The Basics of a Disability Income Insurance Policy

You’ve worked hard to build a successful career. The income you earn supports your family, your financial goals and your lifestyle. That’s why your income might be your most valuable asset – even more so than your house, car or savings.

If you were sick or injured and unable to work, what kind of financial impact would the loss of your income have on your family?

Help Protect Your Income

Disability income insurance provides benefits to help replace a portion of your income if you’re sick or injured and unable to work. It’s financial protection that helps you focus more on your recovery and less on how you’ll cover expenses.

In addition to your income, here are some of the most important things in your life that disability income insurance helps protect:

  • Your home
  • Your retirement
  • Your family
  • Your personal savings
  • Your lifestyle
