Take the Steps to Protect Your Income

You probably take plenty of precautions in your daily life. You wear your seatbelt. You have a working smoke detector in your home. You probably insure your home and auto. But what about your paycheck?

A sports injury, a car accident, an illness, a problem pregnancy, a heart attack, a serious back injury, or a period of depression — any of these situations can affect your ability to do your job.

Disability Insurance Awareness Month (DIAM) is an industrywide campaign designed to raise awareness about the need to protect one’s greatest asset – the ability to earn an income. Becoming disabled and unable to work is one of the greatest financial risks people face, and yet disability insurance continues to be one of the most overlooked and misunderstood types of insurance today.

According to the Council for Disability Awareness’s 2008 Worker Disability Planning and Preparedness Study, seven in 10 workers say they could not cover expenses for more than six months if they missed work due to injury or sickness.

Disability insurance purchased from the workplace or from a financial advisor or agent can help. We invite you to join the millions of Americans who have recognized the crucial role that disability income coverage can play in their lives, and share valuable information about disability protection with someone you love. Every household that depends on income from wages and salaries needs to think about disability income coverage. Consult with Us link
