1 Long Term Disability Insurance Enrollment July 1st through July 31st, 2019

2 Disability Insurance helps protect your income when you can’t work because of a covered illness or injury. This type of coverage may be less expensive if you purchase it through your employer than if you purchase an individual policy. Plus, with the convenience of payroll deduction, you don’t have to worry about writing a check every month. Disability insurance will help you take care of the same things you depend on your paycheck for, such as: > Planned expenses (groceries, mortgage, utilities) > Unplanned expenses (medical bills, home improvement) Confidential, unpublished property of Cigna.

What would happen to your bills, your savings, and your lifestyle if you couldn’t work? “Disability” does not always mean a serious handicap. In reality, it can be as simple as an illness or injury that prevents you from earning a living. Disability coverage pays a portion of your paycheck when you can’t earn it yourself because of an unexpected, covered illness or injury. Why not help insure your paycheck?
