“The percentage of U.S. workers with access to employer-provided long-term disability benefits has risen to 38% in 2023, reflecting a growing trend in disability insurance coverage, BenefitsPro reports. Short-term disability benefits access also increased to 45%, marking record highs in both categories. This surge is attributed to heightened awareness post-COVID-19, employer interest in mental health benefits, and state paid-leave laws.”
