What does Disability Insurance Do for You?

Disability insurance gives you and your family piece of mind. The odds of you suffering a long term disability are much greater than you think. As a consultant you rely on your own ability to generate revenue, and to bring home an income. If you are unable to do what you do, there simply is no safety net other than a DI policy to make sure you can maintain your existing lifestyle.

If you are sick or injured, and cannot perform the material and substantial duties of your regular occupation, the policy will pay you a percentage of your income on a tax-free basis every month until you recover or reach the end of your benefit period. The percentage replacement will depend on your current level of earned income, the higher your income the lower the replacement ratio will be. The lower your income, the higher the percentage replacement ratio will be. The ProVider Plus policy offered by Berkshire is the number one selling non-cancellable disability insurance policy in the country according to LIMRA in 2009*. As an independent consultant, it is up to you to secure your own benefits. If you depend on your ability to work and generate an income, we would recommend owning a ProVider Plus policy to protect that income.
