How Disability Insurance help you in hour of need? 

Disability Insurance


Disability insurance can help protect you and your family from an unexpected illness or accident that leaves you unable to work and earn an income. Generally, disability insurance replaces between 60% and 85% of your regular income, up to a maximum amount, for a specified time if you: temporarily can't work are permanently disabled due to an injury or illness Permanent refers to the nature of the disability. It does not mean that you'll get benefits for the rest of your life. Many employers offer disability insurance. However, you can get your own disability insurance plan through a life and health insurance agent. If you're self-employed, you can also get disability insurance that will cover many of your business expenses if you're unable to work.

Short-term disability insurance

Short-term disability coverage typically provides benefits for up to 6 months while you're sick or injured. If your employer has a short-term disability plan, your claim must be made through your disability plan. Employers aren't required to provide paid sick leave and each employer is different. Speak with your employer’s human resources staff for details on your plan including any sick time or vacation time policies that might apply. If you don't have short-term disability coverage and your employer does not offer one, you may be eligible for Employment Insurance (EI) sickness benefits. To be eligible for EI sickness benefits, you must: usually have used all of your sick leave and have worked enough hours.

Long-term disability insurance

Long-term disability insurance benefits generally begin when the following benefits end:
short-term disability insurance
sick leave benefits from your employer
EI benefits
Most long-term disability plans will replace 60% to 70% of your normal income.

Each disability plan is different. Some may provide disability benefits for up to two years if you're unable to return to the job you had before becoming disabled. After two years, you may continue to receive benefits only if you're unable to work at any job.

There are different kinds of disability insurance coverage, including individual insurance plans and group insurance plans, as well as government plans such as workers’ compensation and benefits provided under the Canada Pension Plan.
