There is a tremendous unrealized need among a large portion of the American working public. After years of steady decline, savings rates are starting to rebound – but even money saved will eventually run out during an extended disability. There exists an unrealistic view by the American working public of their risks and their lack of preparedness.

25 Discover DI | from Ameritas Life/Ameritas Life of New York For Producer use only. Not for use with clients. How To Join the Cause Ask your personal clients or employer clients about their disability plans If personal clients, ask “how would you pay your bills if your paycheck stopped?” If they say they “have it at work,” ask them to get you a copy of their plan. If employer clients, ask them if they have a plan. If they say they don’t, ask them “how they have dealt or will deal with the disability of an employee.” If they have paid a disabled employee, ask them if they at least have a Salary Continuation Plan. If not, they could have established a precedent they are uncomfortable with for all future claims.
