long-term disability
Extended work incapacity
Long-term disability is a condition that prevents someone from working for an extended period, typically months or years.
The term appears most often in insurance contexts: Her long-term disability coverage replaced sixty percent of her salary.
Long-term disability insurance kicks in after short-term benefits expire, usually covering illness, injury, or chronic conditions that substantially limit normal activities.
