Income Protection Policy- Guard Your Ability To Earn An Income

January 21, 2012 Income Protection No comments

Income protection is worth considering type of insurance for all working people. However, before we begin to discuss its benefits; let’s understand the term first. Income protection is a type of monthly benefit insurance that pays you up to 75% of your income. Not only this, it also covers you for accidents, diseases or other major traumas. This insurance pays you up until you return back to work after a prolonged illness or accident. In case you are unable to continue your job, then this policy will pay you up till your retirement age. All said, this insurance is designed to make sure that you carry on financially till the time you are able to return to work,

Income ProtectionUsually, the amount you receive varies depending on the contract term, such as for 2 years, 7 years, 10 years or up to retirement age. Designed primarily to meet the costs of ‘living’ person, this insurance is most relevant for single people who have no dependants. Income Protection Insurance is of two types:

    • Agreed Value Insurance: Though an expensive option, agreed value insurance is not affected by any fluctuations in income. The sum insured cannot exceed 75% of your gross income at the time of taking out insurance. Self employed people prefer this type of policy.
    • Indemnity Value Policies: A less expensive but common option, Indemnity policies are usually provided by superannuation funds and premiums are deducted from the member account. The payable benefit is calculated as a percentage of the income earned in the period before making a claim and evidence of income is not required until you make a claim. Say, your income falls after you take out cover, your claim will be based on the lower-income amount. This type of income protection policy offers fewer benefits and less flexibility. People with regular salary opt for this policy.

Before you buy any income protection policy, check the waiting and benefit period. Also, check all the terms and conditions carefully and the way your chosen company defines the key terms of the policy.

Story at-a-glance

  • The major danger of genetically engineered foods may be related to the increased use of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s weed killer Glyphosate, which is the most common weed killer in the US and just happens to be more toxic than DDT. Roundup, can accumulate and persist in the soil for years, where it kills off beneficial microbes and stimulates virulence of pathogens
  • Since organically-farmed fields are not doused with glyphosate, organic fields still contain beneficial soil bacteria that actually hinder pathogens in and on the food from multiplying out of control.
