What Is Disability Insurance?
Disability insurance may help protect your paycheck if you aren’t able to work due to illness, injuries, pregnancy or childbirth. The benefits are paid directly to you and can be used to pay expenses that medical insurance doesn’t cover — like rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, child care or other bills.
