Long Term Disability Insurance 

Long Term Disability Insurance is different from the short term because of the period length. With this policy, coverage lasts for years. This can be until you have recovered up to the age of 65. You can even sign up for a policy that lasts a lifetime. 

Processing periods can last up to 90 days. Once you file a claim and it’s processed, you will receive your benefits for whatever period you choose. Periods usually start from 2 years and can continue until the age of 65. 

Though Short Term Disability Insurance covers childbirth, Long Term Disability Insurance does not. It only covers injuries and illnesses. The amount you receive in benefits will be different than for a short term policy. This is mainly because you will be receiving benefits for a more extended period.
