Disability Insurance
You may have thought about life insurance, or even done some planning, but what about disability income insurance? Did you know that one in four people entering the workforce today will incur a long-term disability prior to retirement? Disability Income Insurance is designed to replace a portion of a person’s income who is unable to work due to illness or accident, and is an essential component to ensuring that long-term financial goals are met. Some common features of disability income insurance are:
- May be purchased as a stand-alone policy, or to back-up the disability coverage provided by your employer
- Policies can be tailored to meet your budget
- Coverage can span for a length of time or until your projected retirement age
- Elimination periods (the time between when a disability event occurs and you start receiving benefits) can range from 30 days to one year.
CAL Financial works with five of the most reputable, highest-rated disability insurance carriers in the US market for standard to preferred markets. If you feel you may not qualify for disability income insurance due to your health, chances are we can find a carrier for you.

According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 70% of people age 65 and older can expect to use some sort of long-term care during their lives. Long-term care is much more than nursing home insurance. Long-term care defined is personal or medical assistance with the core activities of daily living (ADLs) which include dressing, bathing, using the bathroom or assistance in transportation due to declining health or medical apparatus. Long-term care comes in many forms, including:

Annuities
People often buy life insurance to ensure financial security for their loved ones in case they die too young. What if, however, you live a nice long life…do you have your finances in order to ensure you do not outlive your nest egg? Annuities are a terrific option to generate low-risk savings which typically generate better growth returns than Certificates of Deposit or money markets. On the back-end, a well-structured annuity can guarantee you will never outlive your periodic monthly or yearly payments as well.
CAL Financial offers both traditional fixed annuities as well as indexed annuities to suit your needs for retirement savings.
