Short-term disability

Voluntary short-term disability plans allows employees to elect benefits on a voluntary basis to protect their income in the event of a non-occupational accident or illness. Typically, voluntary short-term disability plans pay a weekly benefit for 13 to 26 weeks.

Most Americans would not be able to make payments on a home or keep their family financially secure without a paycheck. Through the ease of payroll deduction, an employee can pay for this affordable financial protection.
