Short Term Disability
Short-term disability (STD) is an income replacement benefit that provides a percentage of pre-disability earnings on a weekly basis when employees are temporarily unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury. It typically covers a period of 3 to 6 months and is often offered by employers, but can also be purchased individually.




Long Term Disability
Long-term disability (LTD) insurance is a type of insurance that provides income replacement if you become unable to work for an extended period due to a disability. It typically takes effect after a short-term disability (STD) benefits has been exhausted. LTD policies offer various benefit periods, ranging from a few years to even until retirement, and usually provide a percentage of your pre-disability income.
