Replace part of your paycheck when you're injured or ill and can't work.

Long Term Disability Income insurance can help if your disability lasts longer than your short term disability insurance will cover. It provides you with benefits to replace a part of your paycheck when you can’t work because of a sickness or injury. You may need to meet certain conditions to be eligible for benefits, such as completing a waiting period. Benefits are then paid for the duration of your medical condition to the maximum duration allowed by your employer’s plan or until you reach Social Security Normal Retirement Age.

Your Long Term Disability Income Insurance includes the following benefits:

Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) filing assistance

When appropriate, experts will help you file for SSDI benefits, which can be a very difficult process.

Survivor Benefit

If you pass away while receiving disability benefits, we may pay your eligible survivor a lump-sum benefit.

What is Group Long Term Disability Income Insurance?

Group Long Term Disability Income Insurance provides you with benefits to replace a part of your paycheck when you can’t work because of a sickness or injury. You may need to meet certain conditions to be eligible for benefits, such as completing a waiting period. Generally, Long Term Disability benefits begin once you have exhausted your Short Term Disability benefits, if applicable. Benefits are then paid for the duration of your medical condition to the maximum duration allowed by your employer’s plan or until you reach Social Security Normal Retirement Age.

How can Long Term Disability benefits be used?

When your claim is approved, you will receive monthly benefits to replace part of your income based on your coverage level. You may use this money however you would like. Below are a few examples of how your Long Term Disability benefits could be used, depending on how much coverage you have:

  • Rent or mortgage payment
  • Groceries and utilities
  • Medical bills and recovery expenses

Why should I enroll through my employer?

  • Insurance premiums are simply deducted from your paycheck.
  • We will waive your premiums while you are receiving benefits from us.

How much does it cost?

The monthly cost of Long Term Disability Income Insurance varies based on the amount of coverage and sometimes your age. Please refer to your enrollment materials or contact your employer. 

Do I need to provide health information?

Generally, if you enroll when first eligible for coverage, you will not have to provide any health information. If you enroll for coverage after the initial offer, you may need to provide us with health information on a form called "Evidence of Insurability." This form includes simple questions about current and past health conditions. We may also request information from treating doctors. If evidence of insurability is required, it must be approved by us before your coverage becomes effective.

Real Life Example

Keith loves hiking and fishing, and when on a trip, Keith severely injured his hip and leg. The injury made him unable to work for a year. Fortunately, Keith had Long-term Disability Insurance through his employer. After he satisfied the waiting period, it provided benefits to replace 60% of his regular pay while he couldn’t work. As Keith was expected to recover, he was not eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). The benefit he received helped pay everyday expenses.

Example Expenses

Medical expenses $2,000
Mortgage payment $1,500
Other expenses + $1,200
Total monthly expenses $4,700

Disability benefits
Monthly LTD benefit (60% of normal pay of $5,500) $3,300

This is shown for illustrative purposes only. Actual results may vary. For a complete description of your available benefits, exclusions and limitations, see your certificate of insurance and any riders.
