If you have adequate funds set aside to retire today or pay your monthly bills without continued income today than no, you don't need to keep it. Keep in mind that the older you get the more likely you will need the protection. Drop it today, get diagnosed with cancer tomorrow. Murphy's Law. Besides, if you opted for the money back rider you will get all your money back anyway....you did opt for the money back rider didn't you? If it is a toss up between keeping the DI and buying LTCi, then the answer is drop the DI to free up the premiums to pay for the LTCi. 4lifeguild

Can you receive disability from your job and disability from social security at the same time?
Yes, it is very common for disability insurance plans to include a clause for social security disability, meaning the insurance company will pay a portion of the monthly benefit, expecting that you would apply for social security benefits to pay for the "Supplemental Social Security benefits". In the event you get declined by Social Security, then the insurance company would cover the additional supplemental benefits. Employer group plans as well as individual disability insurance plans can include that clause.

It is possible, however it depends on the particular Short-Term Disability Insurance policy you have. Your disability benefits booklet should be available from the employer. Some group disability policies integrate with Social Security and if you qualify for Social Security benefits, your disability benefits will be decreased by the amount received from SSDI. Individual Disability Insurance plans can be taken and you have a choice of integration with Social Security (cheaper plans) on non-integrated plans which will pay 100% of benefit if you are disabled, regardless if you are receiving Social Security Disability. These individual plans are portable if you change your job.
