Disability Insurance in Utah

A disability is far more likely than death during working years, yet most employees have no income protection beyond sick leave. Group disability insurance keeps your team financially stable if they can't work.

Types of Disability Coverage

Disability insurance replaces a portion of an employee's income when illness or injury prevents them from working.

01

Short-Term Disability (STD)

Replaces income for temporary disabilities — typically 60–70% of salary for up to 6 months.

02

Long-Term Disability (LTD)

Replaces income for extended disabilities — typically 50–60% of salary until recovery or retirement age.

03

Maternity/Pregnancy

STD coverage typically includes paid time off for pregnancy and childbirth recovery.

04

Mental Health

Covers disabilities resulting from mental health conditions, typically with a 24-month benefit period.

05

Own Occupation

Pays benefits if you can't perform your specific job — even if you could do other work.

06

Rehabilitation Support

Covers vocational rehabilitation and return-to-work programs to help employees transition back.

Who Should Offer Disability Insurance?

Every employer should offer disability insurance. Your employees' ability to earn income is their most valuable asset — and the one most of them don't protect.

  • Any employer with a benefits package
  • Companies in physically demanding industries
  • Employers with mostly salary-dependent employees
  • Businesses wanting comprehensive benefits
  • Companies with employees who have mortgages and families
  • Any employer who values employee financial wellness

Disability Insurance in Utah

Utah does not have a state-mandated disability insurance program, making employer-sponsored disability coverage even more important. Without it, employees have no income replacement beyond whatever PTO or sick leave is available. Group short-term disability typically costs $15–$40/month per employee. Long-term disability is surprisingly affordable at $10–$30/month per employee. In Utah's family-focused culture, maternity coverage through STD is a huge employee benefit — especially for young families.
