Disability
Disability insurance provides financial protection if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. It replaces a portion of your income, helping you manage everyday expenses and maintain stability while you recover. Short Term Disability (STD) typically covers temporary conditions, while Long Term Disability (LTD) offers extended support for more serious or long-lasting health issues. This coverage offers peace of mind, ensuring you’ll still receive a steady income if the unexpected happens.
