Question 5 of 20 in Basics |
What does disability insurance cover? |
 |
After an initial period called the “elimination” or “waiting” period, disability income insurance pays a specified percentage of your income while you are disabled. The payments continue for the duration of the disability or until the maximum time limit stipulated in the policy. As a rule, insurance companies will not allow you to have disability coverage for more than about 60 percent or 70 percent of your normal taxable income. |
