| Individual Disability Insurance |
Disability coverage replaces a portion of your salary if you become disabled and cannot work. Without it, you may have to spend your retirement savings, college funds, and other assets for everyday living expenses. A variety of unexpected medical problems can leave you unable to go to work for a period of time. If this happened to you, how would you pay your bills and support your family?
 | Review the sources of income available to you if you should become disabled.
|
 | Check the disability provisions in your employee benefits plan. Is this coverage adequate?
|
 | Build an emergency cash fund that can cover living expenses for at least six months.

Your chances of suffering a disability are greatest during your working years?significantly greater, in fact, than your risk of a premature death.

Can you afford not to have an income for three to six months?or more?
