Trends In Group Disability Coverage While many employers continue to offer long-term disability benefits, some companies have lengthened the amount of time a worker with a disability must wait before benefits kick in, according to a recent survey conducted by human resources news website BLR/HR Daily Advisor. Health And Lifetime Health Care Costs Workers approaching retirement are frequently advised to try to remain as healthy as possible as a means of not only improving their quality of life in retirement, but also reducing their health care expenses.
