When a person becomes disabled and unable to work, at
some point their income will stop. It might be sooner or later, but
unfortunately, life goes on and daily living expenses continue to mount.
Disability income insurance is available to continue
at least a portion of ones income while unable to work. It’s sad,
but most people give more attention to life insurance than they do about
income replacement should they become disabled.
Disability income insurance is available individually
or sometimes as a portion of a group benefit provided by an employer
in their group package.
Individual policies are most often sold to self-employed
and professional people. The amount of the benefit relates to earnings
and is matched as close to after tax income as possible. Generally it
is up to 60% of monthly net income and there is usually a cap on the
amount.
When included as part of a employee group benefit package,
disability income policies are usually more liberal than individual
plans as far as limitations and exclusions. It is also much easier to
acquire coverage. As a general rule, group plans are much less costly
to all parties.
Disability income protection should be an element of
your entire financial planning. The importance cannot be overestimated
because it relates to your overall family finances.
Whatever you situation may be, disability is one of
the most important factors when you consider you inability to work and
produce income.
Some things to consider when determining disability
income needs are:
Establish the bare minimum required if income stops.
Determine your retirement needs if work ceases and
the ability to pay into the retirement ends.
Allow for any benefit that might be offset by social
security and workers compensation.
Usually short-term policies cover non-occupational disability
but most long-term policies cover both occupational and non-occupational
sickness and accidents.
