Questions from Little Rock
Isn't employer group disability enough?
Many employer plans replace only a portion of base salary, cap monthly benefits, and may be taxable when the employer pays the premium — which can leave a meaningful income gap. An individual policy can be designed to help fill that gap, subject to underwriting.
