If you couldn't work tomorrow, would your savings last?
1 in 4 American workers will become disabled before retirement. Most can't replace 60% of their income from savings alone.
Why Social Security alone isn't enough.
Many Americans assume Social Security Disability (SSDI) will protect them if they can't work. The reality is far different — and the gap can devastate a family financially.

It happens more than you think.
Most people underestimate their chances of becoming disabled. The data tells a different story — one that affects millions of working Americans every year.
Short-term vs long-term.
Different coverage for different situations. Most workers benefit from having both types of protection in place.

- Minor injuries and sprains
- Pays within days of claim approval
- Affordable monthly premiums
Long-Term Disability
- Cancer and serious illnesses
- Back and musculoskeletal conditions
- Mental health conditions
- Heart disease and cardiac events

Frequently asked questions.
How much does disability insurance cost?
Premiums depend on your age, occupation, income, and the level of coverage you choose. Most policies cost between 1% and 3% of your annual income. We compare quotes from multiple A+ rated carriers to find the most affordable option for your situation.
How is disability insurance different from Social Security Disability (SSDI)?
SSDI is a government program with strict requirements — only 30% of applicants are approved, and the average wait for a hearing is 9 months. Private disability insurance pays you faster (within days), has more flexible definitions of disability, and provides higher income replacement (typically 60-70% vs the SSDI average of $1,630/month).
I already have coverage through my employer. Do I need more?
Possibly yes. Group employer coverage typically only replaces 40-50% of your income, has strict definitions of disability, and may not be portable if you change jobs. Many professionals add a personal policy to fill the gap and keep coverage if they leave their employer.
What's the difference between short-term and long-term disability?
Short-term disability covers temporary conditions (3-6 months), like recovery from surgery or pregnancy. Long-term disability covers more serious conditions (cancer, back injuries, heart disease) and can pay benefits for years — often until age 65 or 67. Most workers benefit from having both types.
Will my pre-existing conditions affect coverage?
Pre-existing conditions can affect eligibility and pricing, but they don't always disqualify you. Different carriers have different underwriting guidelines. As an independent agency working with multiple A+ rated carriers, we can find the best fit for your specific health profile.
Do you offer disability insurance in Spanish?
Yes. Our entire team is fully bilingual. We offer all consultations, paperwork review, and claims support in both English and Spanish — whatever feels most comfortable for you.
How long does the application process take?
The initial consultation takes about 30 minutes. After we identify the right carrier and policy, the application process typically takes 2-6 weeks depending on underwriting requirements. We handle the paperwork and guide you through every step.
