Are you talking to your clients about Disability insurance?

No one plans for a tragedy to strike...

...but if one should, having Disability Insurance ensures your clients are covered, allowing them to focus on their road to recovery, while having the means to pay the bills. May is Disability Insurance Awareness month. It's the perfect time to open up the conversation about having disability income.

​​Speaking to your clients about DI (Disability Income/Disability Insurance) is a conversation worth having. Having insurance that insures the beneficiary's earned income will be provided should they become disabled not only gives one peace of mind, it's just good common sense. Nearly 18.5% of Americans currently live with a disability. One out of every four Americans will suffer a disabling injury before retirement. Statistics like these are hard to ignore.

Life Happens poses this question:
"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, it wouldn’t be long at all: 7 in 10 working Americans couldn’t make it a month before financial difficulties would set in, and one in four would have problems immediately, according to a Life Happens survey.¹"
