NOVEMBER HIGHLIGHT
A City Employee’s Story: A Wake-Up Call
The Importance of Disability Insurance*
Michael’s journey is a stark illustration of life’s unpredictability and the critical need for preparedness in the face of unforeseen events. As a steadfast public service employee, Michael was dedicated to maintaining the City’s infrastructure until an unexpected accident resulted in a permanent back injury. This abrupt change not only ended his career but also plunged his family into financial turmoil.
Despite receiving partial benefits from his employer, these were insufficient to cover the living expenses and growing bills. His wife, Sarah, had to take on additional work to help make ends meet, but the financial burden continued to mount. The stress of unpaid bills and the fear of losing their home took a significant emotional toll, making it even more challenging for Michael to concentrate on his recovery and adjust to his new circumstances.
Michael’s situation powerfully highlights the essential need for comprehensive long-term disability insurance. Without adequate coverage, the family’s financial future was left in jeopardy, underscoring the importance of a robust safety net in times of crisis. This is where The Club’s Long-Term Disability (LTD) Insurance provides a crucial solution, offering a lifeline and peace of mind for employees and their families.
- Income Protection During Critical Times: The Club’s LTD plan ensures up to 70 percent of your salary is available when you’re unable to work due to injury or illness. This reliable income stream helps families like Michael’s avoid depleting their savings or retirement funds, thus protecting their long-term financial health.
- Extensive Coverage: The Club’s LTD insurance addresses a broad spectrum of circumstances, from injuries to chronic illnesses, including partial disabilities. This comprehensive protection gives you confidence that, no matter what happens, your family’s financial security is safeguarded.
