Your Financial Foundation
Because the financial impact of a disability can be devastating, many consider income protection an essential part of a sound financial plan. Be sure you have adequate longer-term protection.
Many assume if they became too sick or hurt to work, they could rely on Social Security or disability insurance benefits from their employer to replace their income. These are great sources of income protection, but they may be unavailable or not enough. Even a short-term disability could eliminate years of savings. Consider adding individual disability income insurance to your financial portfolio to help protect a greater portion of your income.For more information
