The benefit period usually 3 to 6 months. Let\u2019s break that definition down a little:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94ea61d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94ea61d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A disability is any medical condition that stops you from working. It\u2019s a common misconception that disabilities only occur because of workplace accidents; in fact, most disabilities are caused by chronic conditions like back injuries, cancer, and heart disease. Depending on your employer, pregnancy may also be categorized as a disability, and you may need to use a disability insurance policy to provide income while you\u2019re on leave from work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f681abd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f681abd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>STDI may not cover you for the entire duration of your disability. Depending on your policy, STDI generally replaces your income for between three months and six months. (As we\u2019ll get into later, STDI complements long-term disability insurance nicely.) STDI plans typically cover up to 80% of your gross income.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7412bad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7412bad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>STDI may cost anywhere between zero dollars and way too much, depending on where you get it from. Your monthly bill, referred to as your monthly premiums, may be entirely covered by your employer. Some employers may ask that you contribute a small amount in order to participate in the plan. If you purchase your STDI through a private insurer, it could cost anywhere between $50 and $150 or more, depending on how much coverage you need and for how long. STDI typically costs as much as long-term disability, despite the fact that STDI offers a shorter coverage period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a676f37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a676f37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SHORT-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE VS.

The difference is when it kicks it and for how long. Long-term disability insurance only kicks in after an elimination period (a.k.a. a waiting period). The typical elimination period is 90 days, but can be as long as 180 or 360 days depending on your policy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b032ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b032ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As you can probably already tell, short-term disability and long-term disability are designed to be used in tandem.
