Im guessing thay you’re in the US and you’re referring to “long term disability insurance”. To anyone else in the US considering LTD and thinking “$25 is a lot a month, I could afford it but the insurance doesn’t seem that important.” Please look into the rules in your area. In some cases, if you don’t have LTD you’re health insurance ends when your Short term disability ends if you cannot still return to work at that time. LTD may keep your health insurance going in a time when you will most need it for you and/or your family. It could mean the difference between being back at work in 2 years and losing everything. If you can afford it you should probably get LTD.

In my case, LTD did not enable me to keep my health insurance, but it did enable me to keep receiving some income.
