Needs

enough coverage to provide you with sufficient income to live on
until you are able to return to work or receive other financial
resources retirement, social security, and so on.
Ask Yourself ... Could I still pay my bills
without
my income?

savings into debt

medical expenses and monthly household bills would still have to be
paid or your family's lifestyle may have to change dramatically.

we earn normal income, we save, and have normal
expenses!

When disabled and not working
we have decreased income,
increased expenses, and greater debt!

Borrow money? |

substantially may be very difficult. or not a choice at all.

disastrous
long-term consequences.

A Table
How much disability insurance do I need?
The benefits purchased through a disability policy are quoted as
monthly income that you receive if disabled. Consider your monthly
income after taxes as the base amount you would need. If you have
other sources of income, that should be considered in the amount you
apply for. In addition to the monthly amount, an individual needs to
consider the length of time you want to collect benefits, and when
you would need them to begin. Pay attention to the premium amount
also. Don't buy more coverage than you can reasonably afford. |

The Purpose of Disability Insurance
Disability insurance was created to insure you for
a disabling sickness or injury, these plans will provide an individual
the ability to continue their standard of living. They are designed to
replace up to 60% of taxable income.
As you can observe above, there are a significant number of carriers
available to search out the best occupational definitions, and
occupational rating classes for your particular profession.
Q. If you are permanently disabled and cannot work, what will
Social Security
cover?
A. Social Security has a cap on the amount
of benefits you'll receive. In most cases, there will be a 5-month
waiting period before eligibility, plus another 7 months before you
even receive a benefit check. In addition, 56% of all disability
claims are rejected by Social Security.

Q. If you collect disability income benefits, do you have to pay
Income Tax
on them?
A. Provided
you pay the premiums out of your own pocket on an after-tax basis,
the benefits are not taxable. However, if premiums are deducted from
your paycheck on a pre-tax basis such as in a Section 125 cafeteria
plan, benefits will be taxable. If your employer pays part of the
premiums, only the portion of the benefit that is attributable to
your own contributions will be tax-free.
