Chances of Disability
"Me, Disabled?"

It's hard to imagine becoming disabled. But accidents and illnesses can happen to anyone—at any time. Disability is more common than you think. Studies show:

  • Three in 10 workers entering the work force today will become disabled before retiring.
  • One in 7 workers can expect to be disabled for five years or more before retirement.

It's critical to prepare for disability — just like you would plan for any other family financial need — because a disability could seriously hurt your family's financial security.
