Help protect your incomeand lifestyle with Short TermDisability Insurance.Short Term Disability Insurance:why is it so important?Your ability to earn an income is indeed one of your most valuable assets. Just over 1 in 4 of today’s 20-year-olds will likely become disabled before reaching age 67.1 That’s why financial experts recommend short term disability insurance as part of a sound financial plan at any stage of life.2 Short Term Disability Insurance (STD)can help you cover your essential living expenses and help protect your savings if you are unable to work due to an illness or injury, including pregnancy. If you have a family, they most likely rely on you to help keep the household running. If you are single, and don’t prepare ahead to cover your expenses, you may need to use your savings, sell your property, or borrow money from friends or family to meet your ongoing financial obligations while you recover.STD may help replace a portion of your income during the initial weeks of a disability, generally between 13 and 26 weeks. Coverage is easily accessible, and payments are made weekly, directly to you. You can use the money for whatever you like, from groceries and gas to your mortgage or rent.Why should I enroll? • Improve your financial security.• Our application is simple andstraightforward and the benefitsmay be significant. There’sno better time to secureyour coverage.For questions, please call MetLife at1 800 GET-MET8(1 800 438-6388)Coverage that can help protect your income when you are unable to work.Special considerations: If you work in a state with state-mandated disability or paid medical leave benefits (“State Benefits”), you should carefully consider whether to enroll for Short Term Disability (STD) coverage. In CA, CT, HI, MA, NJ, NY, PR, RI, WA, OR (starting 9/3/23), and CO (starting 1/1/24), if eligible, you must apply for State Benefits. Your STD benefit will be reduced by State Benefits or other government benefits that apply. Depending on your compensation, the amount of the State Benefit, and other factors, you may only receive the minimum weekly benefit. Please consider, based on your individual circumstances, whether you need additional coverage beyond the State Benefit.Short Term Disability Insurance
