What would you do if your paychecks stopped?

Article Abstract:

Employees should invest in disability insurance just as they invest in life, medical and car insurance. Disabilities may occur unexpectedly and can trigger a financial crisis due to loss of income. Life insurance, workers' compensation and social security benefits do not automatically cover disability claims and these are often not enough to sustain daily expenses. Disability insurance can replace 60 to 80% of an employee's income and can provide long-term benefits depending on its policy terms. An employee should consider these to be able to maximize the benefits offered by the insurance plan.
