Disability & Long-Term CareQuestion 490 of 716

A disability buy-sell policy is designed to provide funds to:

a.Reimburse the disabled owner's personal medical, hospital, and rehabilitation expenses as they are incurred
b.Continue paying the disabled owner's regular monthly salary until a return to work
c.Buy out the share of an owner who becomes permanently disabled, under a buy-sell agreement
d.Cover the business's monthly overhead costs such as rent, utilities, and staff wages

Explanation

A disability buy-sell policy funds the purchase of a permanently disabled owner's interest in the business by the other owners or the entity, mirroring how life-insurance-funded buy-sell agreements handle an owner's death. It does not continue salary, cover overhead, or pay medical bills, which are the jobs of personal disability income, business overhead expense, and health insurance respectively. The buy-sell policy ensures a smooth, funded transfer of ownership when disability makes an owner unable to continue.
