If you are injured or ill and cannot perform your job duties for a period of time, in most cases you may be allowed to access sick or vacation leave first, but after this is exhausted then disability income insurance if you have it, comes into play.
With short term disability insurance, which generally covers up to a year, the payments begin within a short period of time. Long term disability insurance policies, which can cover up to 5 years or more take longer, sometimes months, to begin payouts.
Once those payments begin you will likely be monitored to see if your condition has improved enough to return to work. You will likely be required to apply to Social Security for disability benefits too.

There are three significant differences between short and long term disability income insurance policies, length of coverage, cost and speed of payment. Short term policies cover up to a year, pay within a week or two and cost the most. Long term policies take longer to pay and cost scale are cheaper. Both types of disability insurance coverage are age related, the younger likely healthier worker, will generally pay less.
In general a worker can expect to pay 1%-3% of their monthly wage for disability income insurance per month. As previously mentioned, age is a factor here as well. In general a worker's least expensive option for either long term disability insurance or short term disability insurance will be with the plan offered by their employer. If it is not on offer from your employer you can access a disability insurance quote right here. Remember, you must be employed to apply, if you leave your employer that company or individual policy terminates.
