Disability benefits can be coordinated when you have multiple disability insurance contracts with either the insurer or other insurers. When disability benefits payable under the policy become coordinate, the monthly benefit payable is reduced so that the amount of disability benefits payable under this policy and any other insurance does not exceed 100% the average monthly income earned by the person insured.

After three (3) months of continuous disability, the insurer will waive the subsequent premiums for as long as the person insured is eligible to receive total disability benefits.

If the person insured receives total disability benefits for six (6) consecutive months, the insurer will pay a lump sum benefit equal to the total disability benefits that would have been paid during the waiting period as though the waiting period did not apply.
