Your Employees
Your ability to earn an income may be one of your most valuable assets. But, while medical insurance helps cover treatment due to an accident or illness, how do you cover your income? Disability insurance can help safeguard your income in the event you become unable to work due to an extended illness, injury or pregnancy. It's protection that enables you to meet your day-to-day financial obligations, so your long-term goals stay on track.

Special Considerations
If you have employees who work in a state with state-mandated disability or paid medical leave benefits (“State Benefits”), they should carefully consider whether to enroll for this coverage. In California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Washington (and Oregon starting 9/3/23, and Colorado starting 1/1/24), if eligible, employees must apply for State Benefits. Your employees’ STD benefit will be reduced by State Benefits or other government benefits that apply. Depending on your employees’ compensation, the amount of the State Benefit, and other factors, they may only receive the minimum weekly benefit. Your employees should consider, based on their individual circumstances, whether they need additional coverage beyond the State Benefit.
Disclaimer
Like most group benefit programs, life insurance programs offered by MetLife contain certain exclusions, exceptions, waiting periods, reductions, limitations, and terms for keeping them in force. Ask your MetLife group representative for costs and complete details.
