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.
However, disability insurance is not based on a work-related injury or illness, whereas workerâs compensation is specifically for injuries or illnesses that happen on-the-job. The two types of disability insurance are short-term and long-term. 1  Short-term Disability â A shorter waiting period to get paid, but you get paid for a shorter period of time.  Long-term Disability â A longer waiting period to get paid, but you get paid for a longer amount of time.
