Why do I needShort-term Disability Insurance?
What isShort-term Disability Insurance?
Can you ever be sure that you won’t experience a short-term disability? In the case of illness or injury, a short-term disability insurance policy helps you maintain your standard of living and helps pay your bills.
The Social Security Administatration estimates that just over 1 in 4 of today’s 20-year-olds will be come disabled before reaching age 67.
Three times as many disabling injuries occur off-the-job as on-the-job and are therefore not
covered by workers’ compensation.
A physician-documented, Short-term Disability often results in a loss of income. Our Short-term Disability insurance pays you a percentage (60%) of your gross income in monthly benefits while you are disabled. Your benefits advisor will help you select the right amount of disability insurance benefits for your needs, as well as the length of time they are payable.
Short-term Disability Insurance is a way to stay ahead of the medical and out-of-pocket expenses that add up so quickly after an illness or in the case of an injury - not just for emergency treatment, hospital stays and medical exams, but for other expenses you may face, such as transportation and lodging needs. Aflac benefits are paid directly to you, so you can use them at your discretion.
