Is your income protected?

Episodic income is one of the biggest challenges freelancers face. As freelancers know all too well, when you’re too sick to work, you don’t get paid.

Until now.

Freelancers Union is thrilled to offer freelancers in Georgia exclusive access to Trupo, a brand-new short-term disability insurance product for freelancers. It will be coming soon to freelancers around the country! Enter your zip code to see if Trupo is available in your area:

Trupo was started by Freelancers Union founder Sara Horowitz and it represents an important step in building a new safety net that works for freelancers.

Here’s how it works:

  • You pay a monthly premium depending on your income level and line of work
  • If you’re ever too sick or injured to work for more than a week, you receive checks for up to half of your income

We’re excited to be partnering with Trupo to offer this exciting new option for freelancers. We hope you’ll sign up and be a part of an innovative solution that helps freelancers thrive. You can also join Trupo’s Facebook group and follow #Trupo on Instagram and Twitter.
