| You have many
options from which to choose when considering Income
Replacement:
A Disability Income policy can help keep
you financially stable during difficult times by paying a monthly income,
directly to you, when you are sick or hurt and unable to work. It is great
as a primary income replacement plan or as a supplement to your salary
continuation or group disability plan.

You have the option to choose the
combination of coverages* that best meet your needs by selecting:
- The amount of coverage you need
- monthly benefits between $250 and $10,000.
- The length of time you must be
disabled before benefits begin - 60, 90, 180, 365, or 730
consecutive days.
- The length of time benefits are
paid to you - one year, five years, or to age 65.
