Baker Birdwell Simplifies Individual Disability Insurance, or Income Protection Insurance, into Understandable Parts

  • What is it?

    If you get too sick or too hurt to work, you have bills that still must be paid, like mortgage/rent, food, car payments and utilities. This coverage provides you with a portion of your income to pay your bills while disabled.

  • Why do I need it?

    One in four twenty-yearolds will have a long term disability in their working lifetime. As you get older, the chances of a long-term disability increase. For most of us, our income is the base that allows us to do everything in our lives.

    • If you are age 40, making $100,000/year, you will earn over $2.5 million in your working lifetime. We think to insure our homes and cars, but isn’t your income a much lager asset? Doesn’t it make sense to insure it too?
  • What does it cost?

    Roughly 2% of your income. Pricing varies by:

    • Age & Gender
    • What you do for a living
    • How long after you’re disabled before benefit start and then how long are they payable.
  • Isn’t this kind of expensive?

    Yes, but consider it this way – which job would you prefer?

    Job A pays you a salary of $100,000 when you are working and $0 if you are too sick or hurt to work.

    Or

    Job B pays you a salary of $98,000 when you are working and $60,000 tax-free if you are too sick or hurt to work.
