Disability Insurance
Disability income insurance is a type of insurance product designed to help replace a major portion of your income if you were unable to work because of an illness or injury. For this reason, many people think of it as “paycheck protection.” Along with life insurance, disability insurance can offer the protection you need to ensure your family doesn’t lose their home or other valuable assets if the unthinkable happens.
As you go through life, your insurance needs change.
Most people don't think they're at risk of becoming disabled, but according to the U.S. Social Security Administration, one in five Americans (56 million) are currently living with a physical or mental disability. Additionally, it's estimated that one in four of today's 20-year-olds will become disabled before reaching their retirement age.
Without a solid disability insurance plan, your family could be at a significant risk if something unexpected happened, especially if you contribute to monthly household bills or a mortgage (most American households rely on two incomes to pay the mortgage). Relying on Social Security Disability to protect you may not be enough: it's very difficult to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. The Social Security Administration uses a strict definition of "disability" and requires that you be unable to work in any occupation you would otherwise be qualified for based on your education, job experience and training.
The reasons for buying universal life insurance are almost as varied as the number of policies available for purchase.
Like any insurance policy, you will need to apply for coverage and make regular premium payments to keep your policy in force. Disability income insurance can be purchased as a stand-alone policy, or as an added endorsement on your life insurance policy.
In the event you were to become disabled, your policy would specify how long the "elimination period" would be before benefits begin. After that elimination period, if you were still disabled and unable to work, the policy would pay you the benefit amount specified in the policy, for the length of time specified in the policy.
Just like other forms of insurance, you'll need to apply for coverage and pay an initial premium. Once your policy is in-force, you'll need to make periodic premium payments to keep your life insurance benefits.
Choose Symmetry For Disability Insurance
The primary benefit of disability insurance is that it can provide paycheck protection or replace a significant portion of your income if you become disabled. This means your family could continue their current standard of living, knowing that the mortgage payment or rent payment would continue to be paid, whether you were able to work or not.
While you may have some disability insurance offered through your employer, purchasing your own separate disability coverage gives you peace of mind knowing you'll have coverage even if you change jobs and lose those current employee benefits. Also, disability insurance can help you avoid the frustration and delays that can come with relying on Social Security Disability.

Q: What are the advantages of Disability Insurance?
One major benefit of disability insurance is the paycheck protection it offers if you become disabled. You can feel safe knowing that your family will be able to continue paying the rent or mortgage even if you are out of work. Additionally, having this insurance on hand can be useful even if you get disability through your employer.
When you purchase your own policy, you don’t have to worry about suddenly losing coverage if you leave your current employer and get a new job. And, as discussed above, buying a disability insurance policy can help you avoid the frustration and delays that can come with relying on Social Security Disability, only to find out that you are not actually disabled in the eyes of the Social Security Administration.
Q: Can I afford Disability Insurance?
Purchasing a private disability income insurance policy, or adding disability coverage to a life insurance policy, is surprisingly affordable for most people. With the ability to choose from many carriers and products, you can tailor your policy to meet your budget and needs by adjusting the amount of coverage, the length of time payments would continue after a disability, the elimination period and other optional policy features and benefits.
Because disability insurance is a health insurance product designed to protect your income, the amount you will pay for coverage will be based on your health and lifestyle, as well as your occupation and income.
Q: Do I qualify for Disability Insurance? / What types of disabilities are covered?
All insurance carriers and disability policies are a little different, but qualifying for coverage may be easier than you think. Normally, there is no requirement for a physical exam.
