Individual Supplemental Disability
Most companies provide group disability insurance coverage to their employees as part of a benefits plan. Unfortunately the majority of group long-term disability plans fail to adequately protect highly compensated employees and executives. Group plans are traditionally employer-paid and are subject to taxes and a benefit caps. Most plans do not include incentive-based compensation in the disability benefit formula. This leaves highly compensated employees and executives exposed to a significant loss of income should they become disabled.
Individual supplemental disability insurance coverage provides additional insurance that is integrated with the employer’s group program to provide a comprehensive solution for protecting the employees.
Guaranteed Issue Supplemental Disability Insurance
When individual supplemental disability is offered through an employer as either voluntary or company-paid, the policies are provided on a guaranteed issue basis (no medical underwriting) and the rates are discounted by up to 35%.
Executive Income Assurance Plan
The Westport Group has developed The Executive Income Assurance Plan to address the specific disability insurance needs of highly compensated executives, partners and employees. This plan can provide additional coverage on top of Group Long-Term Disability (GLTD) plans, as well as supplemental disability plans. The Executive Income Assurance Plan can provide protection for incomes up to $4,000,000 per year, with a benefit maximum of 60% of gross compensation to $200,000 per month. We have secured this Plan on a guaranteed issue basis (no medical underwriting required).
