Antoine L. Cassell February 28, 2022 Disability insurance Leave a comment 18 Views

Short-term disability insurance can temporarily replace your salary if you cannot work due to injury or illness. Some employers offer short-term disability insurance as a benefit, but you can also purchase a policy yourself. But do you need short-term disability coverage? Ultimately, this is a question that only you can answer based on your needs and overall financial situation. If you’re considering getting short-term disability insurance, you might want to consider working with a financial advisor to see if it’s right for you. SmartAsset’s free advisor matching tool can help you find advisors who serve your area today.
