Breeze adds short-term disability insurance to its platform

Breeze announced today the new offering of an individual short-term disability insurance product.

With the addition of short-term disability insurance, Breeze has bolstered its online income protection platform already featuring multiple long-term disability insurance products.

The product launch also means Breeze now offers the only individual short-term disability plan with a 100% online experience and benefits for family medical leave.

Consumers interested in individual short-term disability insurance can use Breeze’s online platform to get a quote in seconds, apply in minutes, and manage their policy.

Insurance distributors and independent agents partnered with Breeze can offer the short-term disability insurance product to their clients directly through the Breeze Agent Portal or through Breeze’s proprietary API. In addition to referring their clients to Breeze, partners can also use Breeze to quote and apply for individual short-term disability insurance on behalf of their clients.

With just 19% of US workers having access to paid family medical leave through their employers, the individual short-term disability insurance product offered by Breeze can provide financial security to those that may experience a loss of income while providing full time care for a child, spouse, or parent.

It can also be a good option for employees who want to protect their income but don’t get offered a group disability insurance plan through their employer.

For Breeze, adding short-term disability insurance to its platform advances the company’s mission to make income protection more accessible by simplifying how it is bought and sold.
