Disability Income Insurance Basics
How Does Disability Income Insurance Work?
If you’re client becomes sick or injured and can’t work, they’ll receive a monthly benefit – think of it as a monthly paycheck – that helps replace a portion of their lost income.
How Much Income Can Disability Income Insurance Replace?
Disability insurance can replace 50 – 70% of a client’s income if they’re sick or injured and are unable to work.
How Soon Can Clients Get Benefits?
There’s an elimination period that begins after the disabling event occurs. The elimination period varies based on your client’s occupation and the policy they select.
