You never expect a serious illness or accident to happen, but when it does, it can interrupt your ability to work for months — even years. Long Term Disability Insurance can give you the financial support you need to manage your disability and your household.
If you experience a covered illness or disability that leaves you unable to work for an extended period of time, Unum Long Term Disability Insurance can pay a monthly benefit of up to 60% of your normal income. You can use this benefit however you need, whether it’s to pay out-of-pocket treatment costs or to cover personal bills and day-to-day expenses.
Our coverage includes treatment for serious forms of cancer, as well as recovery from severe injuries. The most common reasons our customers use this benefit are1:
