Disabilities can happen to anyone and they can reduce or even destroy your ability to earn a living. The financial consequences of having a long-term disability could cost you hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. We believe that insuring the risk of losing your ability to earn a living with a long-term disability insurance income policy is the foundation of a strong financial plan because without income and cash flow, everything else falls apart.

- How much income do you need to continue the standard of living you are used to?
- How much income from other sources would you have if you were unable to work anymore?
- Would you be able to pay for potential new costs incurred because of a disability (child care, home and auto modifications etc)

count on Workers Compensation insurance to replace some of your salary. All states require employers to provide Workers’ Compensation coverage. Workers Compensation typically pays long-disability benefits of about two-thirds of your pre-disability income. However, it only pays in cases where your illness or injury is related to your work. The vast majority of long-term disabilities, however, are not job-related leaving a gap in your long-term disability coverage.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The federal government administers the Social Security long-term disability insurance program that covers most workers, but there are several considerations.
- First, qualifying for benefits is far from a sure thing as about 65% of applications for Social Security disability benefits are initially denied. Fighting for these benefits in court could take years.
- Secondly, the amount of the benefit you receive may not match your current income. Social Security is determined by average monthly earnings and if you have recently started a new career which pays you a lot more than you used to earn, you Social Security benefit could take years to catch up and then it still could only replace less than 30% of your income if you are a high earner.
