May is

Disability Insurance Awareness Month,

created and coordinated by Life Happens.

#GetDisabilityInsurance

Life Happens created and coordinates the Disability Insurance Awareness Month (DIAM) campaign every May because disability insurance is arguably the most misunderstood of all major insurances. But, it doesn’t have to be.

It’s a month when the industry comes together to do something about the enormous gap that exists between Americans’ need for disability insurance and the actual coverage they have.

This year’s theme for the campaign is…

Disability Insurance: For Anyone Who Works

Do you have a job and depend on your paycheck? Then you probably need disability insurance.

The truth is, disability insurance is for anyone who works.

It’s really as simple as that. Whether you’re a salaried or hourly employee, freelancer or business owner, you rely on your income. Think of disability insurance as protection for your ability to earn a living. Get insurance for your income today.
