May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month
Protect Your Paycheck
Check out our video on Why Disability Insurance is Important?
Life is unpredictable — but your income doesn’t have to be.
May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month, a time to spotlight one of the most overlooked yet essential forms of coverage: disability insurance. If you rely on your paycheck (and most of us do), disability insurance is your financial safety net.
Why it matters:
1 in 4 of today’s 20-year-olds will become disabled before retirement.
Disabilities can arise from illness, injury, or accidents — not just catastrophic events.
Without income protection, even a short-term disability can lead to long-term financial strain.
What disability insurance does:
It helps replace a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to a disabling condition — so you can keep paying the bills while focusing on recovery.
This May, take action:
✅ Review your current coverage (through work or personal plans)
✅ Understand what’s covered and for how long
✅ Talk to a licensed advisor if you're unsure of your needs
Your income is your most valuable asset. Let’s make sure it’s protected.
