Individuals and Families

Protecting American workers’ paychecks may be one of the most important things we can do.


Today, about 29.5 million working age Americans have some kind of disability, and 1 in 4 of today’s 20-year-olds will miss work for six months or longer at some point in their working careers because they are hurt or sick.


Industry-leading financial protection benefits from Unum help ensure that individuals and families across the country can prepare for the unexpected and unpredictable. Unum is committed to protecting paychecks across the country and to combatting the uncertainty of Americans’ futures.
