Common questions, answered simply
What does disability insurance replace?
A qualifying policy generally replaces a portion of earned income when a covered illness or injury meets the policy's definition of disability. Limits, exclusions, and definitions vary by policy.
What is an elimination period?
It is the waiting period between the start of a qualifying disability and the point when benefits may begin. A longer waiting period can affect both price and how much emergency savings you may need.
Can self-employed people apply?
Yes, subject to eligibility and underwriting. Income documentation and the way your occupation is classified can be especially important during the application.
Does a workplace plan make individual coverage unnecessary?
Not always. Employer benefits may have benefit caps, different tax treatment, or may not follow you if you leave the job. A side-by-side review can identify potential gaps.
