What would happen to your financial health if you were to become sick or injured and couldn't work? Could you pay your mortgage? Your car payment? Credit cards? Household bills? How would your life change?

We conducted a survey1 of U.S. workers like you and found that the majority (94 percent of respondents) value disability coverage - insurance that would replace a portion of your income if you became sick or injured and couldn't work.

Not surprising, given that experts predict that 1 in 3 people between the ages of 35 and 65 will experience an illness or injury that keeps them out of work for 90 days or more.2 And that fewer than 40 percent of us have set aside emergency savings.3

But what our survey also showed was that many of you are unsure about the cost of disability coverage, whether you need it, or even whether you have it! And nearly everyone told us they wanted advice to help them make decisions about disability insurance.

We can help. We're experts in disability coverage. We work with thousands of employers to provide cost-effective, quality disability coverage we believe is unsurpassed in value. What makes our disability coverage so special?
