There are two types of disability insurance: 1  Short-Term Disability (STD) pays you a portion of your income for a short period of time after you run out of sick leave. 2  Long-Term Disability (LTD) pays you a portion of your income after you run out of both sick leave and STD.
Waiting Period: This is also referred to as an elimination period, and it's the time between when you become ill or injured, and when your disability insurance benefits begin. Most short-term disability plans have waiting periods of 0 to 14 days, although they can be up to 180 days.
