Disability Insurance

If you became ill or had an accident and couldn't work for a year, list three people who would pay your bills for you:

1) ___________________________

2) ___________________________

3) ___________________________

How does the list change if you can't work for 3 years, or longer?

Your best bet is to protect your family by protecting your income yourself. Disability insurance is paycheck protection. It pays a percentage of your pre-disability income if you become unable to work. You can use this money to pay your bills, keep your home and/or business, and provide for your family.

There are many different kinds of policies, designed to fit your needs and budget. For more information, please contact Shelly at (480) 206-8294 or shelly@truechoicebenefits.biz.
