What is disability insurance?
It can give you a tax-free monthly payment to help replace your income and cover your expenses if an illness or injury keeps you from working.
While a disability can often be visible to the naked eye, not all disabilities are so easily recognized. Chronic pain or a mental health issue can also qualify as a disability.
