Disability Income Protection – Protecting Your Life
If something happens that keeps you from working,
what is your greatest concern?
• Assuring you can continue to provide for your family?
• Staying in your home as long as possible?
• Protecting your savings and retirement?
The majority of us need to work to provide for our loved ones and
to maintain our standard of living.
Injury or Illness – The Impact
The loss of income for an extended
period of time has the potential to
disrupt your plans and create a
gap between you and the things
that matter most:
• Your family
• Your home
• Your savings and retirement
Being injured or sick may
have an impact on your
loved ones and may put a
strain on your family,
especially other wage
earners and dependents
in your home.
Protecting Your Family
Protecting Your Home
For the majority of
people, their mortgage or
rent is their largest
monthly bill. A long-term
loss of income can put
your ability to pay in
jeopardy and opens the
possibility of losing your
home.
Protecting Your Savings and Retirement
The loss of income may
create a gap in your
savings and retirement
plan as funds are
depleted just to make
ends meet.
Planning the Course
Major life events often represent a milestone that causes people to take an inventory of their financial plan.
• Marriage
• Birth of child
• Home purchase
• Promotion
Milestones provide the opportunity to make sure coverage supports a new life situation.
Bridging Life’s Milestones
Imagine a long, narrow suspension bridge with guardrails along the sides and a slight dip in the middle.
How comfortable are you crossing from one side to the next?
• What about in bad weather?
• What about if we remove the guardrails?
Disability Income Insurance is the guardrail that keeps you and your loved ones moving safely from one part of your life to the next during stormy times.
Truth in NumbersMost people don’t believe they will need Disability Insurance.
However, consider these facts:• One in three Americans will experience a long-term disability prior to retirement
with the average disability claim being 2 ½ years* • Most disabilities don’t happen at work and therefore, Workers Compensation
won’t provide benefits **• More than 90% of disability issues are caused by illness – not injury. ***• And. . . more alarming, 65% of people admitted they couldn’t survive an income
loss for more than a year and didn’t know how they would survive.***
Disabilities happen more than we think and the majority of us are not adequately prepared to lose income for an extended period.

Sources of Income
If you suffer a disability that keeps you from working for an extended period, can you count on these resources?
• Vacation time
• Spouse’s income
• Savings
• Borrowing money
Question: How long would these resources reasonably cover your expenses?
Other Disability Income Sources
What about…
• Social Security disability insurance: The average payment is less than $1,130 a month*
• Workers’ compensation: Only 10 percent of disability cases are caused by eligible on-the-job injuries**
• Disability coverage from work: Do you know how it pays
In many cases, there is a gap between these income sources and basic expenses. Disability
Income Insurance is designed specifically to help cover those basic expenses while you recover
from illness or injury and protect the things that are most important to you.* Medicare and You Handbook (2012); most recent available** CDA Consumer Disability Awareness Survey, Long-Term Disability Claims Review, Council for Disability Awareness (2010); most recent available
