Income Protection

Disability Insurance

Monthly benefits may replace a portion of income when you cannot work, per policy definitions.

Coverage, eligibility, premiums, and benefits depend on the insurance carrier, product design, and underwriting review. SEENCO does not guarantee approval or pricing.

What it is

Disability insurance is designed to replace a percentage of your income if you meet the policy’s definition of disability after a waiting period.

Short-term and long-term contracts differ in benefit duration, definition of disability, and whether benefits are taxable.

Who may want to learn about it

  • You may want to learn about disability insurance if your employer plan is limited, you are self-employed, or you have high fixed expenses.

Common considerations

  • Coverage amount and term

    The benefit amount and coverage period affect premium and how long protection may last. Options vary by product and carrier.

  • Eligibility and underwriting

    Carriers review health, lifestyle, and other factors. Approval, exclusions, and ratings are not guaranteed.

  • Premiums and payment structure

    Costs may change at renewal or conversion depending on contract terms. Compare payment frequency and duration.

  • Policy definitions

    Words like “disability,” “critical illness,” or “accidental death” have specific meanings in each contract.

What to bring to a consultation

  • Government-issued photo ID and current contact information
  • Summary of existing life, health, or disability coverage
  • Recent policy declarations or benefit booklets, if available
  • Household income range and general financial goals (high level only)
  • Family or dependent details relevant to coverage discussions
