Disability Income Protection Plan

Disability Income Protection Plan  

Overview

Don't let a disability put an end to your income.
Disability insurance should be an essential part of everyone’s portfolio. A disabling accident or illness can happen in the blink of an eye. And if you have to stop working, chances are your income will stop too. But it doesn’t have to if you protect yourself with disability insurance. 

The Disability Income Protection Plan available through the Alumni Insurance Program can help. You can select benefit amounts, how long you must be off work before benefits are paid, how long benefits will be paid, and other plan features. You receive a monthly benefit that you select (up to the specified percentage of your Basic Monthly Pay). With this benefit you can better keep up with your living expenses until you get back to work. 

Disability Income Insurance is often considered a very affordable way to assure yourself and your family a stable income if you become totally disabled. Disability Income Insurance is not only economical, but it is also one of the types of insurance you are most likely to need!

  • How much will this coverage cost?

    Your premium is based on your age, the monthly disability benefit you request plus the waiting period (e.g. 60, 90 vs. 180 days) and benefit period (5 years).
  • When is the coverage effective?

    Insurance becomes effective on the first of the month following the date the application is approved by the insurance company, provided the first premium has been paid. However, if an alumnus/alumna is not actively at full-time work on the date coverage would be effective, coverage will not begin until the day after he or she returns to active full-time work.

    Premium payment for insurance does not mean there is any coverage before the effective date of coverage as specified by United States Life Insurance Company.
