What is disability insurance?
It’s coverage that protects you when you can’t earn an income due to injury or illness. It’s designed to cover your income when you can’t make a living due to an illness or sickness. This coverage is crucial because you are more likely to become disabled than die when working!
When am I considered disabled?
The definition of disability may differ depending on the plan you are registered for. Some policies define disability as the inability to earn an income due to illness and injury. Others define disability as the inability to perform your duties given your experience, training, and education.
When do the benefits start?
After you are deemed disabled, benefits start trickling in after the waiting period has lapsed. Typical long-term disability plans have a waiting period of between 90 and 180 days, but for the group plan, the employer chooses the waiting period.
What are the different disability insurance plans?
Disability insurance isn’t a one-size-fits-all insurance plan. There are several types of disability plans. These include
- Individual disability plans
- Group disability policies provided by employers
- Short-term disability plans for a period of 24 months and below
- Long-term disability policies that take effect up to age 65
