What is Long-Term Disability Insurance?
Advantage Group offers long-term disability insurance, which is a type of coverage that offers vital financial protection for individuals who experience extended periods of disability due to injury or illness.
Unlike short-term disability insurance, which provides temporary benefits, long-term disability insurance is designed to replace a portion of the insured person's income for an extended duration. It acts as a crucial safety net, supporting individuals when they are unable to work for an extended period, often lasting for several years or until retirement age.
This insurance provides peace of mind and financial stability, allowing policyholders to focus on their health and recovery without the added worry of income loss. Long-term disability insurance can be obtained through employer-sponsored plans or individual policies, and it offers flexibility in choosing coverage options to suit individual needs and circumstances.
Our team knows that long-term insurance is a valuable means of safeguarding against the potential financial hardships that may arise when facing a long-term disability. This ensures that individuals can maintain their financial independence and quality of life during difficult times.

Paycheck protection, also known as paycheck protection insurance (PPI) or income protection insurance, is a type of insurance designed to provide financial support to individuals in the event they are unable to work due to illness, injury, or disability. The policy aims to protect the insured person's income by providing a regular payment, often a percentage of their salary, during the period they are unable to work.
The main purpose of paycheck protection is to ensure that individuals can meet their financial obligations and maintain their standard of living even when they can't earn a regular income. It can help cover essential expenses such as rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, groceries, and other everyday costs.
Here's how paycheck protection typically works:
Policy Coverage: The insured individual selects a coverage amount based on their income and financial needs. The policy can usually cover a percentage of their pre-tax income, often up to 60-80%.
Waiting Period: There is a waiting period (also known as the elimination period) that the insured must go through before the insurance payments begin. This waiting period can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the policy terms.
Benefit Period: Once the waiting period is over, the policy starts providing regular payments to the insured. The benefit period may last for a fixed period, like two years, or until the individual can return to work or reaches a certain age, depending on the policy terms.
Premiums: The insured pays regular premiums to maintain the policy coverage. The premium amount is determined based on factors such as the individual's age, occupation, health condition, chosen coverage amount, and other risk factors.
It's essential for individuals to carefully review and compare different paycheck protection insurance policies to find one that suits their needs and budget. Some policies may offer additional features, like cost-of-living adjustments or inflation protection, to ensure the benefit amount keeps up with rising expenses over time.
Keep in mind that specific policy terms and coverage can vary between insurance providers, so it's crucial to seek advice from a qualified insurance consultant or broker to understand the nuances of paycheck protection insurance and make an informed decision based on individual circumstances.
