How soon can you start receiving short term disability benefits after just purchasing it?
Kitterfly
"Purchasing" disability benefits usually means that you enter into a contractual agreement with an insurance company, i.e. you subscribe to or take out a "policy". The insurance company or broker should supply you with a written policy agreement, which will contain the rules, benefits and all other information about the agreement. This agreement should stipulate the policies' claim conditions and waiting period, if any.
In short: read your contract carefully to find the information applicable in your specific case.
