Disability Insurance
The financial consequences of a lengthy disability could literally cost millions. A 40-year-old worker who makes $75,000 a year and suffers a permanent disability could lose over $2 million in future earnings. People don't hesitate to insure their homes, cars or other valuable possessions, so why not insure something that is much more valuable than all those things?
Benefits of Disability Insurance:
- Disability insurance is designed to pay monetary benefits when an illness or injury prevents the insured from earning income. In this respect, it is an income replacement policy, which pays money when a disability arises from a cause recognized by the policy.
- Monthly Income Benefits are paid out income-tax free.
- A personal disability income policy is portable allowing the insured to keep it if they change jobs, as opposed to Group Long Term Disability.
