What is Income Protection Policy & Why Should You Have One?
What is Income Protection?
An Income Protection insurance policy is a product that replaces the majority of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. Protecting regular income is at the heart of sound financial planning.
The reality is that you are likely to suffer a health condition at some point in your working career that may take you to a financially challenging place.
The question then becomes, can you afford to go for a period of time with no income? If you are in such a position, having your income protected provides you with significant peace of mind so that you can focus on getting better.
Why should you cover your income?
Here are some stats for you to consider to help you decide:
- Around 786,000 Australians experienced a health condition resulting in time off work and income support from a government or private source during the 2015/16 financial year.
- To put that into context, this was about 50,000 more than the number of unemployed people as at June 2016.
- At least a further 6.5 million people accessed sick leave for short-term illness.
Now supposing that you are to be one of them, would you be able to go for a period of time with no income? Think about that. Stay smart, be proactive today and ensure a steady stream of income should the hard times ever arrive!
Types of Income Protection
As a specialist insurance agency in Collingwood, we have been offering customised income protection covers to our clients tailored to their specific needs. Broadly speaking income protection can be known by other names such as Salary Continuance (SC) or Total Temporary Disablement (TTD) but they all offer the same protections.
The major areas of difference from one of these policies to the next are:
a) Waiting Period (usually 14, 30, 60 or 90 days)
b) Benefit Period (usually 1, 2 or 5 years or ‘To Age 65’)
c) Percentage of your income (usually 75%, Aspect offers up to 85%)
d) Maximum Benefit – Some insurers will cap how much your benefit is, regardless of how much you earn. Aspect Income Protection cover pays up to $42,000 per week, as long as your income justifies it, for the nominated waiting period.
Coverage of income protection policy
While purchasing an income protection insurance policy, you have to understand that it covers illness and injury that prevents you from working, after the expiry of your selected waiting period. Aspect income protection policy does not cover unemployment.
Although some policies offer a small ‘involuntary unemployment’ benefit as an extra. Along with that, standard exclusions are pre-existing conditions; war & terrorism; flying (except as a passenger on a commercial airline); intentional or self-inflicted injury; professional sports are not covered in Aspect income protection cover.
Aspect Intelligent Cover Builder
Based on extensive working experience as Lloyd’s Underwriters, Aspect provides you with the ability to custom design your cover using the Aspect Intelligent Income Protect Cover builder, purchase the cover, and pay for it online without ever spending time visiting us.
The experience is seamless and the system gives you the full power and resources to build an income protection cover that is best suited to you. Our system provides you the flexibility to add additional covers to your Aspect Income Protection Cover including – Accidental Death Cover, Total Permanent Disability (TPD) Cover and Trauma Cover. In case you need any human assistance, we are always available online or can schedule a meeting to meet in person.
