disability coverage

Income protection policy

Disability coverage is insurance that replaces a portion of income if illness or injury prevents you from working.

Policies vary in what qualifies as disability—some pay only if you can't perform any job, others if you can't perform your specific occupation.

Her employer provides short-term disability coverage, but she bought a separate long-term policy.
