Interested in learning more about Colorado Disability Insurance? Most businesses in the great State of Colorado insure their material possessions—their buildings and cars, for example. But many of these same people don’t insure what is probably their most valuable asset — their ability to work and earn income.
Colorado Disability Insurance from Mountain Insurance: Longmont is designed to replace income should your employees become unable to work. Disability Insurance in Colorado is important because it can ease the financial burden on an employee when someone has a serious illness or injury. There are two basic kinds of disability insurance in Colorado:
- Short-term disability insurance covers a percentage of your lost salary should injury or illness knocks you out of work for more than a few days. Payments generally kick in when you have exhausted any available sick leave. The duration of benefits varies by policy, but three months is typical.
- Long-term disability insurance is a more typical insurance product in that it protects you from catastrophic illness or injury; including tragic twists of fate that permanently end your ability to earn a paycheck. These policies usually pick up where short-term disability policies leave off. Some long-term disability benefits last only five or 10 years, but you want one that covers you until age 65.
Disability insurance may be right for you if:
- You don’t have the resources to covers living expenses for more than 3 months
- You want comprehensive, long-term benefits that would cover disability from an accident or sickness.
- You are interested in protection that is portable throughout several years of your career, even up to age 67.
