Disability Insurance

Disability Insurance
WHEN THERE IS IF IN LIFE

Canada’s Leading Insurance Marketplace

Protect your paycheque, Protect Your Income and Your Lifestyle.

Your provincial health plan can help with the medical bills. But to replace lost income, you need disability insurance. Disability Insurance allows you to focus on your recovery while helping you take care of your financial obligations.

 

We’re sure you have had loved ones, friends, or co-workers suffer from an accident or illness that prevented them from working for weeks or maybe even months. When unexpected events occur, it’s difficult to watch people struggle financially due to loss of income. It’s much more difficult to accept if the person is you or your family member. What will a loss of income mean to you and your family? It would most likely be unpleasant, irritating, and even frightening. The great news is that Long-term Disability Insurance benefits will fill a gap in your cash flow.

 

Disability Insurance and benefits do not just cover unusual incidents.  Many claims are for health issues you may not recognize as impairments, such as physical injuries, stress, cardiac arrest, cancer, or any event that your doctor requires you to have bed rest or time off from work.

How Does Disability Insurance Work?

Many Canadians received benefits from various Covid-19 income benefits like CERB. Where would families be financially if the government hadn’t stepped in with company loans and income subsidization plans during the Covid lockdowns. We all know many friends and relatives that received these benefits. Where would they be financially today if the government benefits were not provided. Maybe you received Covid benefits yourself. Disability benefits work the same way. In the unfortunate event that you lose your job due to accident or sickness you can make a claim and receive benefits.

  • Choose the amount you want and add optional benefits to customize your coverage.
  • Pay your monthly premium.
  • File a claim if you become disabled.
  • Receive your monthly payments when the waiting period ends. The waiting period is the number of days from the date you’re disabled until the benefit start date.
  • Your payments stop when your benefit period ends or you return to work.

What Does The Government Give You?

You can get disability coverage through the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) but they provide limited benefits.

Lower Monthly Benefit

The CPP’s average monthly benefit is $966.43 and the maximum in 2019 is $1,362.30.

Do you need disability insurance if you have it through your employer?
