Disability Insurance provides cash benefits to replace lost income and cover medical expenses. There are two types of Disability Insurance: short-term and long-term. Short-term disability is generally recommended for individuals who are earning a significant portion of the household’s income. This coverage can protect major assets, such as homes and vehicles, from falling into foreclosure in the event the insured individual is forced to stop working.

Long-term disability insurance is designed to protect individuals and families against financial hardship when a loved one requires ongoing medical care, typically as a result of illness. Long-term DI is recommended for individuals entering retirement. Planning for unforeseen circumstances is one of the most important wealth and well-being considerations to make when exiting the workforce.

John was a tremendous help with my process of signing up for Medicare.
