Supplemental Individual Disability Insurance (IDI)
Why Disability Insurance Matters
A disability can happen unexpectedly, whether from an accident, injury or illness. Without adequate coverage, a loss of income can create serious financial stress.
Did you know? More than 1 in 4 people in their 20s will experience a disability before age 67.*
How This Plan Helps You
Brown provides group long-term disability (LTD) coverage that pays:
