Disability insurance in Saskatchewan.
Disability coverage replaces some of your income if you can’t work because of an injury or illness. This monetary benefit will continue until the benefit period ends or you return to work. It can help you and your family pay for necessary expenses like your mortgage, car payments, utilities, groceries, etc.
Determine the coverage you have early on to ensure you are adequately protected. For example, do you have short-term stability or long-term disability coverage?
Why do you need disability insurance?
Accidents and illnesses can happen unexpectedly, leaving you unable to work and earn an income. Disability insurance ensures you continue receiving income if you cannot work.
Up to 40% of Canadians become disabled for 90 days or longer before age 65. Disability insurance can help you meet your financial obligations as the benefit can replace most of your take-home pay. It allows you to avoid dipping into your retirement savings.
Do you need life disability coverage if you have it through a work benefits plan?
Group benefits insurance is a great start, but it usually only provides basic coverage and is limited in the reimbursement you can receive. Are you prepared to face the financial impact of a disability over the long term? Don’t rely solely on your workgroup benefits – ensure you have adequate coverage with disability insurance.
The first question you should ask when reviewing your disability workplace plan is whether you have short-term disability or long-term disability coverage.
