Can You Afford to Lose Your Paycheck? Why Disability Insurance Deserves Your Attention.

Benbrook residents, May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month—a reminder that your paycheck might just be your most valuable asset.

Most people insure their homes, cars, and phones, but overlook protecting the one thing that pays for all of it: their income.

Here’s a reality check—one in four 20-year-olds today will face a disability before retirement, according to the Social Security Administration. And while many think accidents are the culprit, most disability claims actually come from illnesses like cancer, heart disease, or depression.

Even if your workplace plan covers 60% of your income, could you still cover your bills and maintain your lifestyle? That gap could be more costly than you think.

Now’s the time to take a closer look at your coverage and make sure your future income is protected.
