Workers Overestimate Their Disability Benefits

A survey conducted in 2004 showed some surprising findings among full-time employees' beliefs and attitudes about disability.

• Almost 50 percent of those surveyed were not concerned about the possibility of becoming disabled and unable to make a living
• One-third of workers age thirty and up will become disabled for three months or more
• 58 percent believed they had some sort of disability coverage but in reality only one-third of workers in the United States have disability insurance coverage
