Short-Term Disability Insurance
Bills and everyday needs don’t stop because someone can’t work. An accident or illness can endanger an individual’s most important asset: the ability to earn a living. Our Short-Term Disability (STD) plans pay benefits when sickness or injury prevents you from working full time. We offer STD programs tailored to meet the needs and cost expectations of both employers and employees.

We work with producers and employers to provide both employer-sponsored group plans and voluntary group plans for employees.
- Affordable premiums
- Evidence of Insurability not required on most plans
- Coverage for disabilities caused by accidents, illnesses and pregnancy
