An income protection plan pays a portion of any lost income when the policyholder is unable to work as a result of an injury, accident or illness. Monies can be used for your family’s daily expenses or to pay necessary bills.
A family income coverage provides the policyholder with peace of mind knowing that the family will be taken care of in the event of death.
Furthermore, a family income protection insurance plan works like disability insurance in that it will pay out in the case of temporary or permanent disability.
Income Protection Insurance works in the following ways:
Your family will always require regular income to remain financially stable. However, this need increases when the primary (or only) breadwinner suddenly experiences a loss of income.
One of the top benefits of income protection is that it offers you quality of mind. That means that you are improving your life as you grow because you are securing for your future financially.
Adding an income protection insurance cover provides the policyholder with peace of mind in the knowledge that their loved ones are provided for.
Income protection allows the policyholder to keep up with bills if their income is suspended or stopped for any of the covered reasons.
Opting for an income protection plan with added life insurance ensures that the policyholder’s beneficiaries will be protected for any eventuality.
If you have been injured in an accident or have been diagnosed with a listed illness, an income protection plan enables you to focus on recovery.
Having a family income plan means that you have total permanent disability insurance. You may even be able to opt for early retirement.
An indemnity value policy indicates that the benefit value of your policy will be determined by the policyholder’s income at the time of the claim.
An agreed value policy allows the policyholder and the insurer to agree on the specified payout amount. This is based on the insured’s income at the time of buying the policy.
A benefit period refers to the maximum period that a monthly benefit can be paid out to the beneficiary if they’re unable to return to work as a result of temporary or permanent disability.
With a stepped premium, your payment premium increases as you age.
Level premiums on the other hand, spread the cost of your policy evenly over the life of your policy.
The MetLife Family Income Protector Plus enables a policyholder to take care of their family’s financial stability in their absence. In addition to returns on premiums, this policy offers the freedom to choose benefits.
Metlife Accidental Disability Benefit Rider can feature as long-term disability insurance if the insured becomes disabled within 180 days of an accident. Choosing the sum assured is flexible and offers tax benefits on payment premiums.
Disability overhead insurance pays a benefit to a business owner’s company if the owner becomes disabled. The business uses the funds to pay salaries and utility bills.
The MetLife Group Accidental Permanent & Total Disability Plus is a lump sum rider that provides the sum assured in the case of total permanent disability.
Workman’s compensation in India applies to the permanent disability or death of a worker. For death, 50% of the current salary is based on the age of the worker.
Being honest about your medical history ensures that you can choose the right income protection insurance. It eliminates potential hiccups during the claim process.
It’s essential to buy income protection that ensures your family will be adequately covered. The policy should include death as well as long-term disability insurance.
Always read the small print on any family income protection plan. This will ensure that you know about any potential exclusions.
Opt for a plan that allows you to change your mind about the cover and number of family members you want to add.
Ensure that your premiums are paid promptly as agreed upon in the original contract. Assess the difference between stepped premiums and level premiums.
