If you’re a self-employed contractor that receives a 1099 form from some of your clients, disability insurance should be an important component of your financial plan. It’s no longer true that only people working at large companies can get adequate coverage.
Disability insurance may be tough for independent contractors to secure, but an agent that specializes in disability insurance can help guide you through your choices. Disability insurance pays a weekly or monthly benefit (or income) to an insured contractor in the event they are unable to work due to a disability or long-term injury.
Disability insurance policies usually require a waiting period following the accident or event that caused the disability, before the policy begins to pay the benefit. The premiums you’ll pay will be based on the waiting period length, the percentage of your salary that will be paid each month and the general risk of your occupation.
