Disability insurance is a necessary coverage for every individual in Massachusetts, whether they have a family or not. Such a policy can provide the ill or injured with the money they need to maintain a healthy and suitable lifestyle while they recover from a disability.

2 . Disability Insurance Overview

Sometimes life events can interfere with your work: if you should suddenly become disabled it could immediately affect your ability to gain an income. Further, without an income to rely on you and/or you and your family could wind up financially devastated. Instead of constantly worrying about the possibility of financial ruin in the event of a disability, many employed workers have disability insurance that will cover them if they have become disabled. As well, it is not uncommon for people to invest in additional protection: it is always wise to plan ahead, especially if one wants to protect themselves from financial complications in the future.

A regular income is clearly necessary for survival and there really is no getting around that fact. Yet, a sudden illness or injury can create a significant problem in maintaining that income. A disability insurance policy is a solution that will help a disabled worker to keep a large part of their income intact during the time that they cannot work.

Imagine suddenly becoming too ill to work or injuring yourself so badly that you couldn't work for several months. What would you do? If you are married and your spouse works, you may be able to rely on a singular income, but your finances are certainly going to suffer. What about your savings account? You will be surprised to see how quickly your savings account dwindles away when you are not actively working.

Now consider your finances: you have to buy food every month; you may have a house in Massachusetts or car payment; insurance payments; and finally, if you have children, consider all of their financial needs. How do you plan to pay for everything with no income or only half the normal income coming into your household? Insurance disability coverage makes it possible for you and your family to maintain the lifestyle you were all accustomed to before your injury or illness.

3 . Who Needs Disability Insurance?

If you like a good gamble, you can take up playing cards and visit a casino, but if you want financial security, an insurance disability plan is a must. While many individuals in Massachusetts may be concerned about whether or not disability insurance costs are really worth the money spent, it only takes one time to become disabled and to understand the true benefit of having a plan in place. Without a disability insurance plan, the financial struggle that one experiences can be truly horrific, and in extreme cases, can result in the loss of one’s car or home.

Don’t let your current good health fool you: you can become ill or get injured at any time. In fact, as you age, the possibility for illness or injury increases: by the time you are 40, there is actually a 40 percent chance that you will have an illness or injury, one that will require your reliance on disability insurance. Such statistics are alarming and can serve as a wake up call for anyone who believes that disability insurance is an unnecessary form of financial protection.

Some individuals fool themselves into believing they already have adequate financial protection in place in the event of a disability. Many workers falsely believe that the coverage provided by an employer is going to be adequate or that their savings will get them through hard times. Such beliefs are financially hazardous; first, one must consider whether or not the employer’s disability insurance is too restrictive, and secondly, one’s currents savings will disappear rapidly when there is no income to replace depleting funds.

Consider the following scenario: if you make 40,000 dollars a year and you save 10 percent of your income for 2 years, given bank interest, you’ll have a little more than 8,000 dollars in your savings account (this calculation does not include alternative investments). Now, imagine becoming ill so that you cannot work. You will see your savings disappear for car payments, groceries, house payments, and whatever else your family needs. If you spent 1500 dollars a month just to survive and make the regular bill payments you are responsible for, how long will that money last? Even worse, if and when you do return to work, your savings will be depleted and will have to be replenished.

4 . Insurance, Disability, and Financial Issues

The whole idea behind establishing a disability insurance plan is to keep you and your family financially secure during unexpected hard times. Some people falsely belief that there are already plans in place that will keep them protected when they become ill or injured. First, people belief that Worker's Compensation will cover them during injury or illness. The truth of the matter is that is not always the case. First, an injury or illness will have to be job related in order for the insurance to cover the health issue. Further, if the employee is going to receive payments from Worker's Compensation they are going to have to prove to a court that the injury or illness is job related. Meanwhile, the case can take months, even years to be determined and there will not be income coming in during the process. Finally, if the injury or illness is not job related, the issue is not covered by Worker's Compensation insurance at all.

Other people believe that Social Security Disability Plans will help them financially if they are ill and/or injured. Again, this is not always the case. Did you know that the majority of people who apply for Social Security disability are denied when they first apply? That means that you will have to appeal, a process that can take years-meanwhile, no income protection is in place. Further, the laws surrounding Social Security disability are restrictive; a disability will have to fit into such restrictions if payments are ever going to be received.

Considering such facts, having disability insurance is a no-brainer. The disability insurance costs are not something one in Massachusetts should worry about. Rather, not having insurance in place should be the foremost concern.
