Why Long-Term Disability Insurance Is More Than Just a Policy
When you're healthy, it's easy to underestimate the value of your paycheck. But if you're ever unable to work for an extended period, Long-Term Disability Insurance becomes essential. It replaces a portion of your income so you can continue to pay your bills, cover medical expenses, and avoid dipping into savings or retirement funds.
At Combs & Company, we design long-term disability coverage that helps protect you from:
- Income loss due to serious medical conditions
- Financial strain during prolonged recovery periods
- Stress about supporting your family without a paycheck
- The long-term effects of depleting assets to stay afloat

Our personalized approach ensures your plan aligns with your income, profession, and long-term goals—so you're covered in ways that truly count.
What Qualifies for Long-Term Disability?
Many people don’t realize how broad the range of qualifying conditions is. Long-Term Disability Insurance typically covers a wide spectrum of serious and chronic health issues, including:
- Cancer: Treatment and recovery can span months or years, affecting your ability to work.
- Cardiovascular Disorders: Heart attacks, strokes, and related conditions often require extended recovery time.
- Chronic Illnesses: Conditions like lupus or multiple sclerosis can unpredictably limit your ability to work full-time.
- Congenital Disorders: Certain lifelong medical issues may suddenly worsen or flare.
- Degenerative Diseases: Illnesses like Parkinson’s or ALS impact mobility and daily function over time.
- Endocrine, Metabolic, and Nutritional Disorders: These can include severe diabetes complications or thyroid disorders.
- Gastrointestinal and Genitourinary Disorders: Crohn’s disease, kidney failure, and other issues may result in long-term disability.
If you’re unsure whether your condition qualifies, our team will walk you through the criteria with clarity—no jargon, no confusion.
Is Long-Term Disability Insurance Worth It?
Absolutely. For most working adults, Long-Term Disability Insurance is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Without coverage, even a short period without income can derail your financial plans. With it, you gain the confidence that:
- Your mortgage or rent can still be paid.
- Your children’s needs won’t be compromised.
- Your retirement savings can stay untouched.
- You won’t have to rely on credit cards or loans to get by.

At Combs & Company, we make sure your coverage is tailored, cost-conscious, and designed to support your lifestyle—not disrupt it.
Who Benefits Most from Long-Term Disability Insurance?
If you rely on your income to meet daily living expenses, support your family, or invest in your future, then Long-Term Disability Insurance is for you. It's especially valuable for:
- Professionals in high-income or specialized roles who can’t afford to lose earning power.
- Business Owners who need to keep operations running, even if they can’t actively work.
- Freelancers & Self-Employed Workers who don’t have access to employer-sponsored benefits.
- Parents & Caregivers who must provide ongoing support to dependents.

Even if you’re young and healthy now, planning ahead means you’re prepared for what you can’t predict.

FAQs About Long-Term Disability Insurance
How does long-term disability insurance work?
Long-Term Disability Insurance pays you a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to a qualifying medical condition. After an elimination period (often 60–180 days), the insurance begins to pay monthly benefits until you recover or reach the end of the benefit period, depending on your policy terms. Combs & Company will help structure the right plan for your needs, income, and occupation.
Can I get long-term disability insurance if I’m self-employed?
Yes, self-employed individuals absolutely can—and should—secure Long-Term Disability Insurance. Since you don’t have an employer providing group benefits, having your own policy ensures that your income is protected if you can’t work. We specialize in helping freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners build smart, affordable protection.
What’s the difference between short-term and long-term disability insurance?
Short-term disability insurance typically covers you for a few weeks to a few months, usually up to 6 months. Long-Term Disability Insurance, on the other hand, covers extended periods—often years or until retirement—if you're seriously injured or ill. It's essential for safeguarding your long-term financial well-being.
Is long-term disability insurance tax-deductible?
It depends on how the premiums are paid. If you pay with post-tax dollars, the benefits you receive are typically tax-free. If your employer pays the premium or you pay with pre-tax dollars, the benefits may be taxable. Combs & Company can help you understand the tax implications specific to your policy.
How do I know how much long-term disability coverage I need?
A good rule of thumb is to aim for coverage that replaces 60–70% of your gross income. But your exact needs depend on your financial responsibilities, savings, debts, and lifestyle. At Combs & Company, we’ll evaluate your specific situation to create a Long-Term Disability Insurance plan that makes financial sense for you now—and into the future.
