May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month

Protect Your Paycheck

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.
