Understanding the Basics of Disability and Critical Illness Insurance, with Kristen Fazio

The MapleMoney Show

When most of us think about insurance, we think of life insurance - protecting our loved ones after we die. But what about insurance to cover you and your family while you’re still alive? This week on The MapleMoney Show, I tackle the subject of disability and critical illness insurance with my guest, Kristen Fazio.

Kristen explains how disability and critical illness insurance differs from life insurance. For one, life insurance is very straightforward, you’re either alive, or you’re not. Disability and critical illness insurance are considered living benefits - it protects you while you’re still alive.
