Citing disability as a reason to stay home, self-employed people often find themselves struggling with finding disability insurance that will cover their needs. In this blog article, the author discusses some of the ways self-employed individuals can get disability insurance and what they should consider when going through the process.

Disability insurance for self-employed, means they are their own manager. This means that they are responsible for their own health and safety, as well as their financial security.

If you're a freelancer and you become disabled, you may not have the same benefits that employees of a traditional company would receive. Disability insurance can help protect you from financial hardship if you're unable to work because of a disability.

There are a few things you should know before you buy disability insurance for yourself: 

1) You need to be sure that the policy covers you fully. Most policies only cover lost income if you're disabled, and don't cover expenses such as healthcare or rehab. Make sure the policy includes everything that's important to you.

2) You need to be aware of how long it will take to payout your benefits. Policies usually have a payout period of between six and twelve months, which means that you may not get any money right away if you're disabled. Be prepared to wait a while for your benefits check to arrive.

If you are self-employed, it is important to have disability insurance in case of an unexpected illness or injury. Disability insurance can provide financial support if you are unable to work due to an illness or injury.
