When was the last time you took an 8 week vacation?

How about 10 weeks? How about 30?

"Man," you say, "my company wouldn't keep paying me for that long!" And you're right. Most wouldn't. But now suppose an accident forced you to miss work for 10 weeks or longer. Could you count on your firm to take care of you? What would happen to your family when those paychecks stop? If your company provides you with disability coverage as a benefit, then you can rest easier. 

Or can you?

Perhaps your firm offers coverage as part of your benefit package. Many good companies do, either with short-term coverage, long-term, or both. If not, you may have purchased a disability policy of your own.

There are some things you need to know, however. Many group disability policies aren't worth the premiums that are paid, because of very limiting language in the policy. You could find your false sense of security shattered in the event that you can't work.
