Do you have Disability Insurance?
« on: April 07, 2020, 05:15:48 PM »
The thread asking about Life Insurance got me thinking that a product that is no-less important but much less widely owned is Disability Insurance.

While most Individual Disability Insurance policies have a 90 day elimination period, so they only kick in if it's serious enough to last long, many quality policies have a "presumptive disability" clause, which would waive the elimination period in certain cases (being in a coma might be one of them).

So how many people here own an individual Disability Insurance policy, or have STD and LTD through an employer?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Never owned my own but had both through my union.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

You couldn't buy one now even if you wanted to (except maybe through Lloyds of London, if you can make a good case as to why you should be insured).

I have two std plans. Used to have LTD with my previous employer but my current one doesn't offer that.
