Disability
Short-Term Disability
Disability coverage that pays out for a limited period, typically a few months.
What it actually means
Short-term disability policies usually cover a portion of income for a period ranging from a few weeks up to about a year, often used to bridge recovery from surgery, childbirth, or a temporary injury.
Example: A short-term disability policy might replace 60% of income for up to 12 weeks after a surgery.
