Why is it Important to have Disability Income Insurance?
| With disability income insurance, you are purchasing a stream of income to be
delivered to you by an insurance company in the event you become disabled. The
policy features and benefits should be coordinated with your needs and premium paying ability. As you evaluate disability income policy features and benefits,
remember that the choices you make will impact the premiums you pay and the
benefits you are entitled to receive. |
