Here is how Long & Short-Term Disability work together for you:

• Short-Term Disability can be available as soon as the qualifying accident/illness occurs and typically pays you a benefit for 6 months. To keep premiums down, consider a waiting period before benefits kick in. Factor in time you could continue to pay your essential expenses through vacation pay or savings.
• Long-Term Disability is geared towards more severe illness/injury that will keep you away from work for more than 6 months with benefits periods commonly lasting anywhere from 5 years to Normal Retirement Age.
• Typical Policy will pay a maximum of 60% of your normal wages; however you can apply for less to save money on the premiums.
• Benefits are generally payable whether you are partially or totally disabled.
