Council for Disability Awareness educates about likelihood, costs of disability
Did you know there is a great Web site that can help educate your clients about preparing for and preventing disability? The Council for Disability Awareness is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the American workforce become aware of the growing rates of disability, its financial consequences and the value of planning responsibly for a disability that could prevent one from earning a living.
The site features a useful tool called the Personal Disability Quotient (PDQ). The PDQ calculates as a percentage the chance a person has of suffering an illness or injury that could force them to miss work. The calculator engages users by providing a personalized PDQ figure, educates them by showing how much of their future income is at stake, and empowers them to take action with information and resources that can help them reduce their PDQ. Users can also calculate the Earned Income Quotient (EIQ), which is the amount of income they could potentially lose if they become disabled.
Tell your clients about this Web site and feel free to distribute an informational flyer.
If you have questions, please talk to your Asuris Sales contact or Regence Life and Health Insurance Company representative.
