Short-Term Disability Insurance

Short-term disability insurance is an insurance product that replaces your income for a short period of time in the event that you experience a disability. You may need to use a disability insurance policy to provide income while you’re unable to work. While long-term disability insurance can offer years of replacement income, short-term disability helps during a temporary injury or illness, or when you give birth.
