Question 11 of 20 in Basics |
What is short-term coverage? What is long-term disability coverage? |
 |
The exact definition of short-term coverage varies from policy to policy. Typically, short term can mean up to six months or even up to a couple of years. Social Security disability coverage usually begins after six months, so some people consider it the definition of short term.
Long term coverage begins when the short-term coverage ends. Depending on how long term coverage is stipulated in the policy, it can continue for a few years until normal retirement age or for the entire life of the insured. |
