Income production is key to protecting your financial well-being.
Nancy Cavey, Florida individual policy attorney, recommends that if you are considering the purchase of a long term disability policy, that you purchase your own personal individual disability policy as opposed to a grouped disability policy. Why? You want the best protection possible and group disability programs are covered under the ERISA act which limit your remedies if you need to file a claim.
