It's like insurance for your paycheck
Let's get started
Congratulations on taking the first step to protect your income! Most people don't, so you're ahead of the pack.
Long-term disability insurance replaces your income if you're unable to work because of injury or illness.
Long-term means more than 30 days. For disabilities shorter than that, you should rely on your savings and any short-term disability coverage you may have through your employer.
Long-term disability insurance is not the same as long-term care insurance.

Long-term disability insurance is different from long-term care insurance
The similar names can be confusing, but it's important to understand that these are totally separate insurance products. Disability insurance is a safety net for your paycheck: if you're out of work due to an extended illness or injury and your policy kicks in, you'll receive a portion of your normal income to help cover regular bills. Long-term care insurance, on the other hand, pays for home-health or nursing expenses, beyond what health insurance covers. Many candidates considering disability insurance would also benefit from long-term care coverage.
