How Short Term Disability Insurance Could Benefit You
As you near retirement your focus may change from protecting your income to preserving your retirement. This plan provides an affordable way for you to ensure if an accident, injury, or illness should occur you have a window of opportunity to prepare to retire.
While the Federal Employee Paid Leave Act provides time off for the birth of a new child, disability insurance provides protection should any complications arise during pregnancy, not to mention adds some additional time off.
Short term disability insurance can bridge the gap between an accident, illness, or some other disability and when your government benefits kick in. On average it takes 7.10 months for OPM to process disability retirement claims, with some claims taking 12 months or longer.*
