The Berkshire ProVider* Plus Disability Plan
With Berkshire Life Insurance Company of America you get the
highest quality DI around, with these hard-to-find features...
-
Own-occupation – pays benefits if you are unable to perform the
material and substantial duties of your own occupation due
to sickness or injury... even if you are able to do some
other kind of work.
-
Non-cancellable and guaranteed renewable to age 65 - What good is
coverage that can be cancelled just when you need it most?
Berkshire Life's policies stay in force as long as you keep
paying premiums on time - and premiums are guaranteed to
stay the same until age 65.
-
Optional Benefit Riders - Berkshire Life offers optional riders,
which can be added to your policy for extra value and
protection. Consider a rider:

income loss from a partial, rather than total disability (Residual
Disability Riders)
-
To have the option to
increase your coverage once a year for a specified number of
years (Future Increase Option)

years at attained age premiums - insure your increasing

of Living Adjustment Rider, or COLA)**

To help if you lose your employer sponsored long-term DI
coverage (Group Disability Insurance Replacement Rider)
