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.
Disability insurance is private insurance that replaces some of your income if an injury or illness prevents you from working. Talk to your Human Resources department to see if your job offers STD or LTD coverage as a benefit.
