* Inflation Protection

Suppose you are receiving a $6,000 monthly benefit. At 6% inflation, that benefit will be paying only $1,872 worth of bills at the end of 20 years. Therefore, one of the most important aspects of your disability income plan should be the protection it affords against inflation.
Individual disability income policies generally offer a cost of living rider that will adjust benefits for inflation during a long-term claim. Most of these riders tie adjustments to increases in the Consumer Price Index, thought all of them "cap" the maximum increase at some percentage, such as 4% per year.

Some policies put a ceiling on the maximum benefit that can be paid under the cost of living rider. A common ceiling would be to stipulate that once the original benefit has doubled, no more increases in the benefit amount would be made, regardless of the continuing effects of inflation. The best policies, of course, have no such ceiling; benefits will be increased as long as the Consumer Price Index warrants it.

** Future Insurability

As your income increases over the years, due both to career growth and inflation, the amount of coverage you originally purchased may become inadequate. The solution, of course, is to purchase more coverage. But what if your health has deteriorated or other changes in your circumstances make it more difficult or even impossible to obtain additional coverage?

A future increase option is the answer. As long as your increased income qualifies for more coverage under the company's issue limits, the future increase option guarantees your right to purchase additional coverage up to a stated age without evidence of insurability. Under the best policies, you can even exercise a future increase option while disabled. The increase in coverage will take effect immediately, subject to the elimination period.
