4 How Important is Individual Disability Insurance Coverage? Over their careers, workers are three and a half times more likely to be injured and need disability coverage then they are to die and need life insurance (Source: Health Insurance Association of America, 2000)

6 Who Needs It? A recent employee survey of Principal Life’s small-to-medium sized business clients, indicated: 13% own an individual disability income (DI) insurance policy 40% believe they do not have adequate disability protection 59% feel very/somewhat unknowledgeable about DI

17 Overhead Expense & Disability Buy-Out Chances of Disability Lasting 3 Months or Longer (before age 65) Age1 Owner2 Owners3 Owners 2741.9%66.3%80.4% 3738.7%62.4%77.0% 4732.4%54.4%69.2% 5719.6%35.4%48.0%

18 Why Overhead Expense? Reimburses a business owner for covered business Helps ensure a business can remain open and the owner can either: –return to a financially sound business; or –sell a business that has not depreciated because of the owner’s disability.

19 How Does OE Insurance Work? The disabled client is reimbursed for expenses paid. –Premiums are tax deductible. (Rev. Rul. 55-264, 1955-1 C.B. 11) –Benefits are reportable as income but business expenses are deductibles (Rev. Rul. 55-264, 1955-1 C.B. 11)

20 Disability Buy-Out (DBO) Buy-sell agreement ensures the orderly transfer of a business interest in the event of the business owner’s death or disability. –Most business owners establish a buy-sell agreement but fail to fund it – or only fund it for an owner’s death.

21 Why Disability Buy-Out? The objective of DBO insurance is to: –provide a funding solution for the buy-sell agreement in the event disability. –reimburse money paid for the purchase of a disabled owner’s interest in the business in the event of a long-term disability.

22 How Does DBO Insurance Work? The non-disabled policy owner or the business is reimbursed for the buy-out expense. Premiums are non-deductible. (IRC 265; Rev. Rul. 66-262, 1966-2 C.B. 105) Benefits are received income tax- free (IRC 104(a)(3); Rev. Rul. 66-262, 1966-2 C.B. 105)
