Your most important asset is not your home, your car, your jewelry or other possessions. It’s your ability to earn a living.
Think about it: All of your plans for the future-from buying a home, to putting your kids through college, to building a retirement nest egg-are based on the assumption you’ll continue to earn a paycheck until you retire. But what would happen if those paychecks stopped? That’s where Disability Insurance comes in. It provides an income to you and your family if you are unable to work because of illness or injury. Though Disability is behind a significant number of home foreclosures and personal bankruptcies, insuring against it has not been a high priority for most workers because many assume they’re already covered through Social Security, state-mandated Workers’ Compensation or employer-provided group plans. However, there are numerous holes in this safety net of coverage.
Explore your options and learn more about Disability Insurance. Take this opportunity to make sure you’d be OK financially in the event that a Disability keeps you out of work for an extended period of time.
