"There are many types of disability insurance. Disability insurance can be obtained for a temporary basis or for a permanent or long-term disability basis as well. Most employers will offer some sort of disability coverage through the work that you have, but typically, this coverage may only be for a certain period of time and may only cover a certain portion of your income that it will replace. So if you're unable to work for a lengthened period of time, you may only receive 40 to 80 percent -- somewhere in that range -- of your salary. So maybe supplementing what you already have through work with a long-term disability income policy would be a good thing to do if you have the money to do so. Long-term disabilities could include things like being handicapped, ending up in a wheelchair, losing a limb, losing sight, hearing, et cetera --anything that would cause you to be unable to perform any of the duties of your job or put you in a position where you're unable to work in the capacity that you had before. Short-term disability insurance will provide you with a benefit during a shortened period of time while you're unable to work. So this may be for one or two or three months while you're out of a job due to an injury or an illness, et cetera. But it's aimed at only providing a benefit for a short period of time -- typically, less than a year or two years -- that it will provide that benefit for. Now, short-term disability insurance is covered typically through your work and it can also be covered by the government in certain circumstances where you may be beyond the age of 65 or you may have low income or be able to qualify for Medicaid type of coverage, which would cover you in that instance. So this has been John Pinelli, financial representative, talking to you about short-term and long-term disability."
