Connecticut Disability Insurance Information
The most valuable resource that anyone possesses is their ability to provide
an income. If everything else that you own or care about is insured and this
ability is removed there may be no way possible to pay the premiums on
other insurance or even to keep that which is insured. Disability insurance
will provide you with an income should you become sick or disabled.
Even with benefits such as Connecticut Workers'
Compensation and Social Security, individual disability
insurance benefits are still important. A disability
financially can be worse than death, since living expenses
continue and may increase due to a need for expensive
specialized care. Many people also purchase disability
insurance to help ensure a continuous income should they
suffer disabilities that are not covered by Social Security.
Individual disability insurance coverages pay a
percentage of your salary if you become temporarily
disabled, meaning that you are not able to work due to
sickness or injury (excluding on-the-job injuries, which
are covered by workers' compensation insurance).
Individual Disability Insurance Features
Disability insurance policies have a fixed monthly
benefit that does not increase with time, although you
can purchase extra coverage, or riders, that offer
higher payment schedules.
Disability types include: Own Occupation - the inability to
perform the duties of your specific occupation or Any
Occupation
- the inability to perform the duties of any job
for which your education and training make you qualified.
You can choose the length of the waiting period on
your disability insurance policy. Waiting periods can
range from one week to two years and the longer you
wait the less your disability insurance policy will cost.

You also can choose the length of the benefit period,
which is how long you will receive monthly benefits
once your disability insurance policy starts paying.

Short term disability insurance is sometimes referred to as Accident and Sickness
insurance. It provides benefits for a limited period of time, typically 26 weeks or less.
Short term disability usually provides coverage for accidents or illnesses outside of
work when Connecticut Worker's Compensation insurance does not apply.
You would begin receiving money from your Connecticut short term disability
insurance policy within 1 to14 days after becoming sick or disabled. The actual time
for coverage to begin depends on whether you suffer an illness or injury. If you suffer
an injury, your benefits will be paid immediately. If you suffer an illness, it will take
longer because there needs to be sufficient time to show that the illness is grave
enough to be disabling.
You choose the amount of income (up to 66% of your gross income) from
$400 to $2000 a month when you can't work due to an accident or illness.
