Long Term Disability Insurance


Coverage that helps replace a portion of the policyholder’s income if a long-term disability prevents them from working

Often referred to as permanent or career-ending disability insurance, this coverage is designed to offer a replacement for income when an accidental bodily injury or sickness prevents the policyholder from being able to work. Policies typically have a waiting period between several weeks to several months with a maximum benefit period ranging from a few years to life.

Depending on the policy terms, a lump sum benefit payment could be paid if the insured is permanently disabled. This benefit is often thought of as a “career-ending benefit” because it is designed to help recoup the loss of future earnings.

 

Short-Term Disability Insurance


Coverage that can provide a monthly or weekly benefit while the policyholder recovers from accidental bodily injury or sickness

 

Monthly benefits can begin following the elimination period and can pay out for as long as the total disability continues, but no longer than the benefit period. Unless otherwise stipulated in the policy, in the event of multiple separate claims, each claim will have a full benefit period eligibility.
