May is Disability Awareness Month. Ask most people to think about their most valuable asset, and they'll mention their home, their car, their jewelry or other possessions. But for most of us, our most valuable possession isn't any of those things: It's our ability to earn a living.

And just as you would insure your car, your home, and other valuable possessions, you need to insure your income in case you are no longer able to work.

If becoming disabled may seem unlikely, the odds may surprise you:

● 71% of American employees surveyed are now living paycheck to paycheck.

American Payroll Association, "Getting Paid In America," September 2008.

● 96% of disability claimants surveyed in a national poll reported that they might

have suffered financial hardship without their disability coverage.

● More than half say they definitely would have suffered financial hardship.

AHIP and Harris Interactive, "Survey of Disability Income Insurance Claimants," June 2008.
