27 27 Group Versus Individual Group LTD benefits are generally taxable if the employer is paying the premiums. Most Group LTD plans do not cover bonus or incentive compensation. There is often a cap placed on the maximum monthly benefit. Group LTD benefits are usually offset by social security. A Mental/nervous disorder limitation is often included. Limitations of Group Long-term Disability (LTD) Plans Group LTD often results in “discrimination” against key employees - only a small % of income is replaced during a disability.
