Unexpected injuries can cause financial stress. That’s where short-term disability insurance comes in.

Why should you consider short-term disability insurance?.

Illnesses or accidents can come out of nowhere. They can interrupt your life, and your ability to work for months—even years. This type of insurance provides financial support to manage your disability and your household.

What is covered by this type of policy?

The principle of short-term disability insurance is simple enough: you pay premiums and if you become disabled and are no longer able to work, you get regular payments to make up some of the lost income. As with life insurance, it’s often a smart way to protect you and your family (or financial dependents) if the worst happens.
