DISABILITY INSURANCE--- EVALUATING YOUR NEED
Have you ever thought about this question? "If you had been on the horse instead of Christopher Reeve, what would your life look like today?"
Other questions to consider!
1. How much money would you need every month should you lose your ability to work (and your income) because of a serious accident or sickness?
2. How long could you and your family go without a check?
Many people rely solely on the group Long Term Disability coverage provided by their employer. They are fortunate to have a caring employer but it should be remembered that if you leave that employer, the next one may not have a plan. Also, group LTD usually provides only a basic benefit that is received as taxable income because the premium is paid by the employer. A companion individual disability income plan has many advantages and you may want to consider one with a conversion option to a Long Term Care Plan.
