Protect Your Income,
Protect Your Peace of Mind
In life, the unexpected happens. When it does, Teamsters VIP+ Short-Term Disability (STD) Insurance stands as an important safeguard for your income, ensuring financial stability during times when you’re unable to work due to illness, injury, surgery, or loss of license due to medical reasons. Here’s why STD coverage should be utilized as part of your financial plan:
Immediate Relief
STD Insurance provides you with a portion of your income tax-free shortly after an unexpected medical condition prevents you from working, offering financial stability when you need it most.
Recovery Without Stress
Knowing your financial obligations are covered, you can focus on what’s truly important—your recovery—without additional financial stress.
Seamless Transition to Long-Term Disability
If your condition extends beyond the short term, STD coverage dovetails seamlessly with Long-Term Disability (if elected) ensuring no interruption in your benefits.
Flexibility
The VIP+ STD policy offers a range of coverage options, allowing you to tailor the coverage amount to your specific needs and budget.
Employer Coverage Gaps
Even if your employer provides STD benefits, the VIP+ Plan can fill in the income gaps between what you earn while working and what you would receive from an employer STD plan when not working due to a short-term disability.
Don’t wait for an unexpected sudden illness or injury to disrupt your life and finances. Protect your income with Short-Term Disability Insurance today.
