What is Long-Term Disability Insurance?

Long-term disability (LTD) insurance provides income replacement if you can’t work for an extended period. Policies usually begin after a waiting period of 90–180 days and can pay benefits for years, or even until retirement age.

This extended coverage goes beyond short-term disability or sick leave, ensuring you have financial support during long recovery periods.

Benefit Amounts & Duration

Most LTD policies cover 50–66% of your income, with payout lengths ranging from 2 years to retirement age. For example, if you earn $5,000/month, a 60% LTD plan could provide $3,000/month until you recover or reach retirement eligibility.

Income Protection

Most policies replace about half to two-thirds of lost wages.

Own Occupation vs Any Occupation

 “Own occupation” LTD pays benefits if you cannot perform the duties of your specific job—ideal for professionals. “Any occupation” only pays if you can’t do any reasonable job. We help you compare and choose policies with favorable definitions.

Customize Your Policy with Riders

Enhance coverage with options like cost-of-living adjustments, residual disability riders (for part-time work), or future purchase riders to increase benefits as income grows.

Why Long-Term Disability Insurance Is Essential

Savings and short-term leave won’t last for disabilities that stretch years. LTD provides a safety net so you can cover essentials like mortgage, groceries, and medical bills. Social Security Disability is difficult to qualify for and pays less, making private LTD crucial.
