Individual Disability Insurance Coverage Features
Even with benefits such as Workers' Compensation and Social Security,
individual disability insurance benefits are still important. A disability
financially can be worse than death, since living expenses continue and may
increase due to a need for expensive specialized care. Many people also
purchase disability insurance to help ensure a continuous income should they
suffer disabilities that are not covered by Social Security.
The most valuable resource that anyone possesses is their ability to provide an income.
If everything else that you own or care about is insured and this ability is removed there
may be no way possible to pay the premiums on other insurance or even to keep that
which is insured. Disability insurance will provide you with an income should you
become sick or disabled.
Individual disability insurance coverages pay a
percentage of your salary if you become temporarily
disabled, meaning that you are not able to work due
to sickness or injury (excluding on-the-job injuries,
which are covered by workers' compensation
insurance).
Most disability insurance policies have a fixed monthly
benefit that does not increase with time, although you
can purchase extra coverage, or riders, that offer
higher payment schedules

Disability types include: Own Occupation - the
inability to perform the duties of your specific
occupation or Any Occupation - the inability to
perform the duties of any job for which your education
and training make you qualified.
You can choose the length of the waiting period on your
disability insurance policy. Waiting periods can range
from one week to two years and the longer you wait the
less your disability insurance policy will cost.

You also can choose the length of the benefit period,
which is how long you will receive monthly benefits
once your disability insurance policy starts paying.

Long term disability insurance provides benefits for a limited period of time,
typically 2 or 5 years and is also usually guaranteed renewable until the age of 65.
Long term disability insurance usually provides coverage for accidents or illnesses
outside of work when Worker's Compensation insurance does not apply.
You can begin receiving money from your long term disability insurance policy
when the "waiting period" time chosen for the policy is reached. Typically, 6
months to a year is chosen for a waiting period in order to reduce your premium,
but shorter times are available.
Hospitalization Rider pays up to double your benefit per month
(for two months) if an injury or sickness puts you in the hospital!

Short Term Disability Insurance Features
Short term disability insurance is sometimes referred to as Accident and Sickness
insurance. It provides benefits for a limited period of time, typically 26 weeks or
less. Short term disability usually provides coverage for accidents or illnesses
outside of work when Worker's Compensation insurance does not apply.
You would begin receiving money from your short term disability insurance policy
within 1 to14 days after becoming sick or disabled. The actual time for coverage
to begin depends on whether you suffer an illness or injury. If you suffer an injury,
your benefits will be paid immediately. If you suffer an illness, it will take longer
because there needs to be sufficient time to show that the illness is grave enough
to be disabling.
