Group Disability Insurance

How long could you manage without your current income? With Long Term Disability Insurance through the New York State Bar Association Insurance Program – you won’t have to.

Most people think of Group Disability Insurance as protection in the event of an accident. The truth is, accidents are NOT usually the culprit. Back injuries, cancer, heart disease and other illnesses cause the majority of long-term absences. Additionally, just over 1 in 4 of today’s 20 year-olds will become disabled before they retire.¹

Protecting your income is one of the wiser decisions you can make. Don’t take the risk – call today to talk to one of the Group Disability Insurance experts at USI Affinity about applying for this valuable and exclusive member benefit today!

This disability insurance can provide a monthly benefit of up to $10,000 per month. (The monthly benefit amount you request, combined with any other disability insurance you may have or for which you are applying, cannot exceed 60% of your Average Monthly Income**).

Benefits are tax free if you pay your own premiums with after-tax dollars. Plus, you can take this coverage with you even if you change jobs or your employee benefits package changes, subject to the termination provisions outlined in the brochure below.
