Short-term Disability Insurance

Short-term Disability (aka STD) is a type of insurance that replaces income for a short period of time when an insured person becomes disabled and is unable to work.

‍

Short-term Disability is included on some employee group benefit plans.

If the insured person's disability continues for a prolonged period, the person may be eligible for long-term disability benefits (if they have that insurance).
