What are my chances of becoming disabled?
During your working years, you have a greater probability of becoming disabled than dying.
The chance that you will suffer a disability lasting three months or longer before age 65 is:
Age | Probability | |
30 | 1 in 2 | |
40 | 1 in 3 | |
50 | 1 in 4 |
If I cannot work, where would the money come from?
Social Security : 69% of all disability applications are denied.
Savings : How long would it last?
Workers Comp : Only covers work related disabilities.
Borrow : Impossible without an income.
Relatives : Embarrassing to ask for money.
Spouse : Does your spouse earn enough to pay all the bills?
How do I start to apply for disability income insurance?
A short form application can be mailed, emailed or faxed to you. It consists of a few preliminary questions. After this is submitted, you would be contacted by telephone for a brief follow up interview.
Do I need to be examined?
Yes. A paramedical company will contact you to schedule a 20-30 minute exam. There is no cost to you for this exam. Questions would be asked regarding your medical history. Your height, weight and blood pressure would be measured. A blood and/or urine sample may be taken depending upon the amount of coverage applied for.
How long does it take before a policy can be issued?
An underwriter will review the application, exam results and medical records from your doctor if they have been requested. It usually takes 3-4 weeks to complete the underwriting. We would then contact you with the underwriting decision and obtain your permission prior to a policy being printed.
