Customized coverage—person by person.To enhance and expand your coverage, you may add either or both of the following riders*:

• Partial Disability Rider. If you are partially disabled as defined in the policy, this rider will pay half of the minimum monthly total disability benefit during the period of partial disability.

• Social Insurance Substitute Rider. Pays additional benefits each month you are totally disabled due to an illness or injury. If you are receiving Social Insurance benefits, this rider will pay the benefit amount less any government benefits received. Provisions vary in New York and New Jersey.

Premium discounts make a good value even better.Reduced premiums are available to policyholders who meet certain requirements. You may receive a lower premium if you:

• Do not use tobacco.

• Are insuring three or more lives in a company.

• Pay a double annual premium when your policy is issued. (Not Available in New York.)

You depend on your income…Why risk losing your financial security in the event of a disabling illness or injury? You don’t expect to become disabled, but it could happen. Approximately 30 percent of all people age 35 to 65 will suffer a disability for at least 90 days, and about one in seven can expect to become disabled for five years or more.†

Union Central’s Disability Insurance Plan goes to work when you can’t. It pays a monthly benefit when you need it most — when you have no regular income and still have the same monthly living expenses.† Health Insurance Association of America, The New York Times, February 2000.

All the benefits you expect, and more.The plan offers you a choice of benefit periods and waiting periods — and it’s Guaranteed Renewable** to age 65.

You have insurance on your home, cars and other assets. But what about insuring your greatest asset–your ability to earn an income? If you were disabled as the result of an illness or injury, would your loss of income threaten

your family’s financial security? It won’t if you have the right plan in place. A disability

insurance plan from Union Central can make all the difference.

Disability income insurance

What is your greatest asset: your home? your business? they are both vital to your

lifestyle, and they are the result of your most valuable asset–your ability to earn an

income. If you become too sick or hurt to work, what would happen to everything

you have worked so hard to build for yourself, your family and your future?

“It won’t happen to me.”You probably think of a disability as something that happens to other people. But simply believing “it won’t happen to me” doesn’t mean at some time in your life you won’t be faced with a disabling illness or injury. Becoming too sick or hurt to work can happen to anyone at any time.

Disability income insurance

the Disability Problem.Becoming too sick or hurt to work is one of the

most serious problems you and your family could ever face. If you should suffer a severe injury or illness, you could lose the income that provides

you and your family with a home, food, transportation, clothes and other necessities.

Sometimes a disability is short term, and a quick return to work is possible. But if an injury or

illness causes a long-term disability, often there are additional costs including long-term care and

the extra assistance needed to help your family function in your absence. This could greatly

increase the financial burden on your family.

Take a look at the chart below to see what could happen to your ability to save should you

become disabled.

resources Drawbacks and limitations

Social Security 69% of all initial Social Security applications are denied*

Savings and investment accounts

If you save 10% of your income per year, one year of disability without a disability policy could use 10 years of savings and investments.

Employee group disability

Many plans cover only base pay and have a cap on benefits. Benefits are often taxable.

Workers’ Compensation It pays only a limited amount over a relatively short period of time and only covers losses due to a work related illness or injury.

Loan from a bank Who will lend funds to you, if you can’t work? How will you pay it back if you remain disabled?

Friends and relatives They may be willing to help, but their resources may be limited.

Spouse’s income Can your spouse continue to work while caring for you and managing the household?

* Source: United States House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means, 1996.

Where would you turn for help?If you should become too sick or hurt to work, the question is: Where would the money come from?

An income protection plan can help provide security for your family if something should happen to you.

You work to provide a continuous income, whether you are the sole breadwinner or one who shares this responsibility. If you lost your earning power as the result of a disabling illness or injury, a disability insurance plan would provide continuity of income when you need it most. For you and your family, it could mean the difference between financial distress and financial stability.

That’s what these people thought too. But they proceeded to protect themselves against

earn an income. Where would they be if they hadn’t protected their most valuable asset?
