Disability Insurance

Long Term Disability coverage (LTD) is an insurance policy that will pay a benefit amount to the insured in the event he/she is not able to work. The benefit amount is paid every month until the insured is able to work or the benefit period expires. The amount of benefit is a percentage of the insured's gross earnings. Each LTD policy is different. You need to know: Will the insurance pay the same benefit amount if the disability was due to accident OR sickness? Will the policy pay the benefit amount if I became disabled while I was working OR while I was enjoin my vacation? If due to disability I cannot perform the duties of my regular job, am I going to be forced to learn another occupation an return to work or would I be considered disabled until I can work in my regular occupation? If I am not totally disabled, can I claim a portion of the benefit amount? If I am disabled for a number of years, would the LTD benefit amount increase to adjust for the increase in the cost of living? If I paid my premiums every year and I never presented a claim, would I get my premiums back? "The devil is in the details".
