Young Families · New York

The mortgage doesn't pause. Neither does childcare. What covers the gap?

New York families carry some of the highest fixed monthly costs in the country. Disability insurance is the one protection most young families skip. Until they need it.

The gap nobody talks about

Three income risks NY families ignore

Your life in New York runs on your paycheck. The moment it stops, the math changes completely. Disability income insurance keeps your family's budget intact when your body can't keep up.

🏠

New York housing costs leave no slack

A family with a $600,000 Queens or Brooklyn mortgage pays $3,800 to $4,200 per month. That's before childcare, utilities, or food. An 8-week disability with no coverage is an immediate financial crisis.

👶

Childcare costs $30,000 or more per year in New York City

Manhattan infant daycare averages $2,700 per month. That cost doesn't stop if the breadwinner is out of work. Disability income keeps it paid.

📋

New York State disability pays very little

NY State Disability Insurance pays a maximum of $170 per week for 26 weeks. That's $680 per month. Your mortgage alone is probably five times that. Private DI fills the real gap.

Common questions

Disability income questions from New York families

Group disability typically covers 60% of base salary with a 90-day waiting period. For a New York family, that gap is usually unmanageable. A supplemental individual policy fills what group coverage doesn't.
Under own-occupation policies, a disability is any condition that prevents you from doing your specific job. Under any-occupation policies, the definition is stricter. Own-occupation is almost always the right choice for professionals.
Policies can be structured to pay benefits for 2 years, 5 years, or to age 65. For a young family breadwinner, a to-age-65 benefit period gives the most complete protection.
If your employer pays the premium, benefits are taxable. If you pay personally with after-tax dollars, benefits are tax-free. Individual policies paid personally are typically the better structure for families.
