Disability Insurance
Individual Short-Term Disability (accident and sickness)
Short-term Disability Insurance may be right for your client if:
* They want immediate coverage from the first day of disability
* They only need coverage until their employer-provided disability insurance would begin paying benefits
* They are interested in protection that is portable, not tied to a job
* They are willing to accept a shorter benefit period to keep the premium as low as possible
Individual Short-Term Disability will pay a monthly benefit if your client is unable to work due to a disabling accident or sickness. You can tailor the policy by selecting the elimination period, benefit period and optional riders that would best meet your client’s needs.
