May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month
May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month every year. Disability insurance is the most overlooked of all of the major types of insurance.
That’s likely because many people think a disabling illness or injury will never happen to them. But, according to a Life Happens survey, a person has a 3 in 10 chance of suffering a disabling illness or injury that would keep them out of work for three months or more during their career.
Life Happens and Disability Insurance Awareness Month (DIAM)
Each May, Life Happens coordinates Disability Insurance Awareness Month. This offers you the perfect opportunity to talk about your disability insurance needs.
No matter what you do for a living or where you are in life, there’s always an opportunity to better protect yourself and your loved ones. Think about it…
What would happen if suddenly, due to an illness or injury, you were unable to work?
Without your paycheck, how long would you be able to make your mortgage or rent payment, buy groceries or pay your credit card bills without feeling the pinch? If you’re like most people, it wouldn’t be long at all.
Half of working Americans couldn’t make it a month before financial difficulties would set in, and almost one in four would have problems immediately, according to a Life Happens survey.¹
That’s where disability insurance comes in, think of it as insurance for your paycheck. DI ensures that if you are unable to work because of illness or injury, you will continue to receive an income and make ends meet until you’re able to return to work.
