Illinois Disability Insurance Information
The most valuable resource that anyone possesses is their ability to
provide an income. If everything else that you own or care about is insured
and this ability is removed there may be no way possible to pay the
premiums on other insurance or even to keep that which is insured. Illinois
Disability insurance will provide you with an income should you become
sick or disabled.
Even with benefits such as Illinois Workers Compensation and Social
Security, individual disability insurance benefits are still important. A
disability financially can be worse than death, since living expenses
continue and may increase due to a need for expensive specialized care.
Many people also purchase disability insurance to help ensure a
continuous income should they suffer disabilities that are not covered by
Social Security.
Individual disability insurance coverages pay a percentage of your salary
if you become temporarily disabled, meaning that you are not able to
work due to sickness or injury (excluding on-the-job injuries, which are
covered by workers compensation insurance).
Disability Insurance Coverage Features
Disability insurance policies have a fixed monthly benefit that does not
increase with time, although you can purchase extra coverage, or riders,
that offer higher payment schedules.
Disability types include:
Own Occupation - the inability to perform the duties of your specific
occupation or
Any Occupation - the inability to perform the duties of
any job for which your education and training make you qualified.
You can choose the length of the waiting period on your disability
insurance policy. Waiting periods can range from one week to two years
and the longer you wait the less your disability insurance policy will cost.

You also can choose the length of the benefit period, which is how long
you will receive monthly benefits once your disability insurance policy
starts paying.

Short term disability insurance is sometimes referred to as Accident and Sickness insurance. It
provides benefits for a limited period of time, typically 26 weeks or less. Short term disability
usually provides coverage for accidents or illnesses outside of work when Illinois Workers
Compensation insurance does not apply.
You would begin receiving money from your Illinois short term disability insurance policy within
1 to14 days after becoming sick or disabled. The actual time for coverage to begin depends on
whether you suffer an illness or injury. If you suffer an injury, your benefits will be paid
immediately. If you suffer an illness, it will take longer because there needs to be sufficient time
to show that the illness is grave enough to be disabling.
You choose the amount of income (up to 66% of your gross income) from $400 to $2000 a
month when you can't work due to an accident or illness.
Benefit periods of up to 2 years!
Short waiting periods 1 to 14 days!
