How Disability Insurance Works ?
Disability insurance pays a monthly benefit if you’re unable to work due to a covered illness or injury. Benefits begin after a waiting period and continue for a benefit period usually 2 years, 5 years, or until age 65.
Waiting Period
Most policies have a 90-day waiting period before payments begin. Short-term policies (often employer-provided) may start sooner, but private policies generally start after 90 days.
Benefit Period
Your benefit period determines how long payments continue. For maximum protection, we recommend coverage to age 65.
Types of Coverage
- Injury-Only Policies: Cover accidents and physical injuries.
- Comprehensive Policies: Cover both illness and injury — ideal for most individuals.
Understanding Policy Quality
Unlike life insurance, disability policies vary greatly. Each policy defines what counts as a disability, how benefits are paid, and when they end. Working with an experienced disability insurance advisor ensures your policy truly protects you.
We help you understand:
- Exclusions and limitations
- Own-occupation vs. any-occupation coverage
- Partial disability benefits
- Tax treatment of benefits
Disability Insurance Costs by Occupation
Your occupation affects your premium rate. For example:
| Occupation | Class | Est. Monthly Premium (per $2,500 benefit) |
|---|---|---|
| Doctor / Lawyer / Engineer | 4A | $42 |
| Physiotherapist / Chiropractor | 3A | $56 |
| Plumber / Electrician | A | $89 |
| Landscaper / Labourer | B | $120 |
Note: Rates vary by age, gender, and health. Ask us for an accurate quote.
Disability Insurance Underwriting in Canada
Underwriting considers three main factors:
- Occupation Risk: Higher-risk jobs (e.g., construction, trades) cost more to insure.
- Income Qualification: Typically, benefits can’t exceed two-thirds of your income.
- Medical History: Past injuries or mental health conditions may result in exclusions, which we’ll explain clearly before you accept coverage.
