Real Life Stories
It is important to remember that nobody believes bad things can happen to them until it does. There are literally thousands of stories of people who were fortunate to protect their income in the event of a disabling accident or illness. As we all know, life throws us curve balls. See the stories below:
Cindy and Matt Wrenn were days away from closing on their dream home when disaster struck. Cindy, 28, suddenly fell ill and was rushed to the hospital. She was stricken with a brain aneurysm, and during surgery she suffered a stroke. With Cindy in critical condition, the house closing seemed out of the question. It was unclear if Cindy would survive, let alone return to her job.
Matt’s teaching salary wasn’t enough, on its own, to qualify for the mortgage. Matt contacted his insurance professional, who had helped the couple purchase disability insurance policies.Today, Cindy is no longer collecting disability benefits. She’s in good health and owns her own title company. She still has disability insurance, so if disaster should ever strike again, she’s covered. “When you’re in your 20s, you don’t think of such things as disability insurance,” says Cindy. “I’m so thankful that I had it.”.
The insurance professional pointed out to the lender that the short-term disability coverage provided by Cindy’s employer would cover 60 percent of her salary over the first 120 days of the disability, and the long-term benefits of her individual policy would replace 65 percent of her salary after that if she was still unable to return to work. With that, the loan was approved.
Cindy’s recovery was nothing short of miraculous. A month after the stroke, Cindy was released from the hospital, and a few weeks later she moved into her new home. Five months later, Cindy was able to return to her job part-time. The income Cindy earned allowed her to move from a full to a partial disability claim.
Today, Cindy is no longer collecting disability benefits. She’s in good health and owns her own title company. She still has disability insurance, so if disaster should ever strike again, she’s covered. “When you’re in your 20s, you don’t think of such things as disability insurance,” says Cindy. “I’m so thankful that I had it.”.
