What Is Disability Insurance?

Disability insurance works by paying a percentage of the employee’s salary if they become disabled and unable to perform their job. A disability can occur from accidents at work or from debilitating illnesses. If this is the case, disability insurance can reimburse disabled workers for some of the income they would have received if they were able to work.

Unlike disability through Social Security, private disability insurance can cover up to 70% of a worker’s salary. There are several types of disability insurance that can come in short-term or long-term packages. Short-term disability covers illnesses up to 2 years, while long-term disability can cover a hefty sum of a worker’s salary for an entire lifetime.
