How would a disability affect your clients? If your clients became too sick or hurt to work, could they… Continue to pay their regular expenses? Maintain their lifestyle? Contribute to their qualified retirement plans? Receive any employer match on those contributions? Contribute to Social Security? Many individuals have not really thought about the full effect disability could have on their finances. It impacts more than just their paychecks. A disability could affect their retirement savings as well. It’s hard enough to prepare for retirement without incurring a disability. If your client is too sick or hurt to work, what would happen to their retirement plans and dreams if they could no longer: Contribute to a 401(k) plan? Receive an employer match on those contributions (if available)? OR Contribute to Social Security? Not having these options available could dramatically impact the funds a client would have at retirement. Plus, without an income, some may even need to dip into their retirement savings to cover everyday expenses. DI Retirement Security can help you build your business with clients or prospects who are serious about retirement and understand the importance of protecting their income and assets. This policy allows your clients to continue saving for retirement in the event of a qualifying disability and helps make it possible for them to still have the future retirement lifestyle they’ve been working toward.

About DI Retirement Security Pays individual Disability Income benefits to a trust to be accessed as retirement income.

How it works Principal Life Client Premium Irrevocable Trust Benefits paid out during retirement Benefits deposited and invested This slide shows how this program works. Before a disability, premiums are paid to Principal. Upon a disability, Principal pays DI Retirement Security benefits directly to an irrevocable trust. The trust then invests the benefits on the insured’s behalf into 1 of 6 different asset allocation models. The client chooses which model the trust invests in by taking a risk tolerance questionnaire. At the end of the benefit period, the trust distributes the assets.

The impact on retirement savings Let’s look at what happens to retirement savings when a disability prevents someone from working. Without an income, there’s no money for contributions. The lost contributions plus the lost growth potential lead to a pretty significant gap in accrued savings. In this example, a disability starts at age 40. Assuming just a modest 5% rate of return on the investment, that’s a $1.2 million loss. Assumptions: $2,000/month contributions beginning at age 30, 5% rate of return and age 65 retirement. Potential loss due to disability at age 40 without continued contributions to retirement savings.
