START WITH THE MORTGAGE.
The DI conversation gets a lot easier from there.
For many clients, “protecting your income” can feel abstract … Protecting the mortgage payment doesn’t.
You probably have a client who fits this.
A homeowner with earned income, a meaningful mortgage payment and little or no individual disability coverage.
UP TO $4,000/MONTH OF PROTECTION
Coverage can be designed around qualifying primary-residence mortgage payments, including escrow, from $1,000 to $4,000 per month.
And getting started can be surprisingly simple:
✓ Mortgage statement for financial verification
✓ No routine labs
✓ No routine attending physician statement
✓ 5-year benefit period
✓ 60-, 90- or 180-day elimination periods
✓ Optional Residual Disability Benefit Rider
✓ Can be written above maximum income-based issue limits
Underwriting approval is still required.
WHO SHOULD YOU THINK ABOUT?
You probably have clients who:
- Recently purchased or refinanced a home
- Have a significant monthly mortgage payment
- Rely heavily on their earned income
- Have little or no individual disability coverage
- Have employer LTD but may still have an income-protection gap
- Have put off DI because the conversation felt too complicated
You don’t have to figure out the DI solution yourself.
