Disability Insurance

Protect Your Income. Protect Your Future.

Your ability to earn income is your most valuable asset. Disability insurance ensures that a health crisis doesn't become a financial one — for you or your family.

What to Look for in a Policy

Not all disability policies are equal. These are the key factors that determine real-world value.

Own Occupation Definition

The gold standard. You're disabled if you can't do YOUR job — not just any job.

Benefit Period

Look for coverage to age 65, not just 2 or 5 years. Long disabilities are most costly.

Elimination Period

The waiting period before benefits begin. 90 days is common — have 3 months' savings as a buffer.

Non-Cancellable & Guaranteed Renewable

The insurer cannot raise your premiums or cancel the policy as long as you pay.

Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA)

Benefits increase with inflation over time, protecting your purchasing power.

Partial/Residual Disability Rider

Pays a partial benefit if you return to work part-time or at reduced income during recovery.
