How Income Replacement Works
If you’re unable to work due to a covered illness or injury, Disability Insurance provides monthly cash benefits. These payments can be used for:
Rent or mortgage payments
Utilities and groceries
Loan and credit obligations
Family living expenses
Benefits are paid directly to you, giving you flexibility during recovery.
Benefit Amounts & Duration
Coverage is customizable based on your income, needs, and eligibility. Options may include:
Monthly benefit amounts up to a defined maximum
Short-term or longer benefit periods
Total or partial disability benefits
Return-to-work incentives in some plans
Your advisor will help determine a benefit structure that aligns with your financial responsibilities and risk profile.
Who Should Consider Disability Coverage
Disability Insurance is especially important if you:
Rely on your income to support yourself or your family
Are self-employed or a contract worker
Have limited or no employer disability benefits
Want additional protection beyond group coverage
Simply put—if your income stops, life gets expensive fast.
Let’s assess how much income protection makes sense for your situation.
