WHY?As you insure your home…

Your possessions…Your life…

And your health…

SO SHOULD YOU INSURE YOUR MOSTVALUABLE ASSET

YOUR INCOME-PRODUCING CAPABILITY

One of the most important types of financial protection your family can have is

disability income insurance.

Page 3: Disability Income Protection

Current Disability Insurance Protection is not adequate.

You currently have NO Disability Insurance. You have only short-term salary continuation

benefits. A long-term disability can have a long lasting effect

on your family’s financial situation…income stops but expenses continue without help of life insurance benefits.

You don’t have savings, investments and retirement plan sufficient to support your family and provide for retirement.
