Disability insurance often replaces up to 2/3 of your income. The idea is to keep money flowing in during times you are unable to work, but not to create an incentive for workers to stay disabled. Insurers want you returning to work as soon as possible, and shorter disabilities keep premiums affordable. Insurance companies ask if you have other coverage in order to make sure that you won't be making more money while hurt than when at work.

Waiver of premium on a life insurance policy or disability insurance policy means that in case of a disability, the insurance company will waive the premiums and keep the policy in force. This is a layer of added protection in case you can't afford to pay the policy due to loss of income in case of an illness or accident. All disability insurance policies include the waiver of premium at no cost, keeping the policy in force while you are disabled and receiving disability benefits. Life insurance policies have the waiver of premium as a rider which usually cost additional premium to add. Consult a life and disability specialist to help you choose the best plans available to you.
