The Hidden Risk Every Family Faces: Why Disability Insurance Could Be Your Lifeline
Did you know it can take up to five months to get a decision on a claim for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)? The processing time can take over a year. The SSDI benefits offered to many would place them at or near poverty level. As of January 2018, $1,197 monthly was the average SSDI benefit provided, which equals $14,364 a year. As of 2016, only one percent of Americans failed to attend work due to an occupational injury or illness, so you can forget Workers’ Compensation.
These statistics illuminate a dire reality that you and your family must pay attention to before you pay with your health and struggle to fend for your livelihood.
