What Is Disability Income Protection?
This type of coverage replaces a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to:
- Injury
- Illness
- Surgery recovery
- Chronic conditions
- Pregnancy complications (depending on policy)
Disability insurance helps cover rent or mortgage payments, groceries, medical bills, child care, and more—so you can focus on getting better.
Short-Term vs Long-Term Disability Insurance
| Coverage Type | Benefit Duration | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Short-Term | 3 to 6 months | Recovery from injury, illness, surgery |

FAQ – Personal Disability Insurance
-
How much of my income is covered?
Yes. While your landlord’s policy likely covers the building itself, it won’t protect your belongings or liability. Renters insurance ensures you’re covered if your stuff is damaged, stolen, or if someone gets hurt in your unit.
-
What’s the difference between short-term and long-term disability?
That depends on the value of your home, your belongings, and your level of risk. We’ll help you calculate replacement costs and liability needs to ensure you’re fully protected without overpaying.
-
Is this the same as workers’ comp?
A common guideline is 10x your annual income, but we tailor recommendations based on your debts, dependents & future goals.
-
Can I get this coverage if I’m self-employed?
Yes. In fact, self-employed individuals are some of the best candidates for personal disability insurance since they don’t have employer coverage.
-
How much does it cost?
It depends on your age, income, job, health, and the policy features. We’ll compare plans and help you find one that fits your budget.
