ABOUT DISABILITY INSURANCE

Regardless of what job you have, if you rely on a paycheck, you need to at least consider disability coverage.

What is Disability Insurance?

Disability insurance protects your income if you’re unable to work because of a serious physical injury or ailment. Payments can be short-term or long-term and will end when you start working again or retire.

Whether it’s a temporary or permanent injury / ailment, you’ll receive anywhere from 60-85% of your monthly salary (tax-free!) up to a specified period of time.

Who needs Disability Insurance?

Everyone. But especially you if you:

  • Work in an injury-prone or physically intensive position;
  • Earn a high income or are in a specialized role (higher earnings, higher expenses);
  • Are self-employed (you might not have access to traditional employer benefits);
  • Have dependents (who else would support your family?);
  • Have no dependents (who’d support you?).

Why do I need Disability Insurance?

Serious injuries aren’t just stressful; they’re also financially draining. Even a week or two without a paycheck is tough for most people and in the absence of a salary, your savings can dry up quickly.

Depending on your condition, you might need medication, medical equipment, outside care, or long-term physiotherapy. Not to mention all the indirect costs of living with a disability, like travel expenses, childcare, and cleaning services. On top of that, there’s your mortgage. And your loans. And groceries.

We get it. It’s hard to picture a future where you can’t work if you’re in perfect health right now. But you never know when you’ll suffer a disability. Even a small accident or fall on your way home can leave you hospitalized or bedridden for months. And the stress of worrying about the money for your next bill might make you even sicker.

Your best bet? A private, portable plan (possibly through your association) where you can customize coverage to your needs. That’s where we come in. PROLINK will help you protect your greatest assets—your home, your car, and most importantly, your earning power—so you can focus on what’s most important—your recovery.

Premium Indicator

The premiums indicated below are based on the Professional Series Disability Insurance Plan, for a non-smoking woman, earning $75,000 annually and receiving a monthly benefit of $4,175. It is important to note that these premium rates are guaranteed until age 65 and cannot be cancelled or changed by the insurance company. That means, if you buy your policy at a younger age, you will continually pay less on a yearly/monthly basis than if you wait until you are close to retirement.
