The Importance of Disability Insurance
Short- and Long-Term Disability provides crucial income protection to support employees through financial challenges from illness, injuries and pregnancy.
A disabling event can happen to anyone at any time. In fact, the probability of becoming disabled between age 20 and normal retirement age is 25%.
Considering that nearly 40% of Americans couldn’t cover an unexpected $400 expenses without a loan, the financial protection provided through disability insurance could be the difference between employees paying their mortgage and feeding their families if they become unable to work due to a disability. Knowing they have a safety net in place can help reduce stress and anxiety for employees, allowing them to focus on recovery without the added worry of financial instability.
Humana’s Disability Plans Protect Both Employees And Employers
Humana’s disability insurance offerings don’t just protect the interest of employees – their plans are designed to help employers as well. With strategic return-to-work incentives, employer and employees paid options, easy administration, and a seamless claim process, Humana makes providing disability insurance a smart and simple choice for your client’s business.
