Individual disability income insures that your clients will be able to maintain their financial independence in the event they become too sick or injured to work for a period of time.

Yet, a LIMRA study shows that only 18% of consumers recall being approached about buying disability insurance – less than half as many as those being approached for life insurance.

Busy young professionals often are not savvy about the need to protect their paychecks with disability insurance. It’s not as commonly understood as life insurance. However, your clients are more likely to become disabled during their working years than to die.

As we celebrate our nation’s independence, take stock of your clients’ financial independence.

• Are their paychecks protected?
• Do they have adequate disability income protection?
• If they have group LTD, is it a taxable benefit?
• Do they need to layer individual disability insurance on top of their group LTD to maximize their paycheck protection?
• Have they exercised future increase options on their existing disability income policies to keep pace with their rising incomes?

Transitioning from Life Insurance to Disability Insurance

Almost all your clients understand the need for life insurance, and many approach you about buying life insurance. When you present life insurance, also present disability income.

It’s an easy transition: “Now that we have protected your family’s financial independence against your untimely death, let’s look at protecting them in the event you become too sick or injured to work for a period of time. In fact, the likelihood of a disabling injury or sickness is greater than death during your working years.”
