Long Term Disability FAQs
Do I have to pay to talk to you about my case?
No, initial consultations are free.
How long do long-term disability benefits last?
The duration of benefits depends on the specific policy. Many plans pay benefits until you are able to return to work, reach retirement age, or for a set number of years.
What is the waiting period before LTD benefits begin?
Most long-term disability plans have an “elimination period,” which is the time between when your disability starts and when you begin receiving benefits. This period typically ranges from 90 to 180 days.
How much of my income will long term disability cover?
LTD benefits usually replace 50% to 70% of your pre-disability income, depending on your plan. Some policies have a monthly cap on the benefit amount.
Will my long-term disability benefits be taxed?
This depends on who paid the premiums. If you paid the premiums with after-tax dollars, your benefits are typically tax-free. If your employer paid the premiums, your benefits may be taxable.
