There are many different elements that make up a disability income insurance policy so it is important to understand when and how you will receive the disability income if the need arises. For example, you will need to know how your policy defines and covers short and long-term disability and total disabilities
理解保险条款: 残疾收入保险政策有许多不同的要素，因此了解在需要时何时以及如何获得残疾收入非常重要。例如，您需要了解您的政策如何定义和覆盖短期和长期残疾，以及完全残疾
In addition, it is important to know if there is a waiting period for the income to kick-in and how or if the income from the disability income insurance policy will affect Social Security, workmen's compensation or unemployment benefits. There are also different types of policies to consider such as choosing a short or long-term policy period. Another key element to look for when choosing a policy is knowing if it covers disabilities from both accidents and illnesses.

What if you tore a ligament, while playing on that weekend co-ed baseball team, and had to have surgery. You'd be out of commission for awhile. Disability income insurance can also replace lost income on a temporary basis, while you heal from the hazards of being a "weekend warrior".
例如，如果您在周末参加混合棒球比赛时扭伤了韧带，需要进行手术。您将需要一段时间恢复，残疾收入保险可以在您从“周末勇士”的伤害中恢复期间，替代您的临时收入
