Cory is a recent college graduate who has just been hired by a marketing firm in an entry-level position. His employer group benefits only cover a short-term disability to a maximum of 119 days. He meets with an insurance agent to talk about disability coverage. To fully cover his salary, he would require a $3,000 monthly benefit. In reviewing options, he thinks that his ideal coverage of a 30-day waiting period and a “to age 65” benefit period comes at a cost that exceeds his budget. What recommendation should the insurance agent make to Cory regarding coverage?
