Disability & Long-Term CareQuestion 491 of 716

Key-person disability income insurance pays its benefit to the:

a.Disabled key employee personally rather than to the business that owns and pays for the coverage
b.Key employee's family members
c.State disability fund
d.Business, to offset lost revenue and added costs while a vital employee is disabled

Explanation

Key-person disability insurance is owned by and payable to the business, providing funds to cover the lost productivity, replacement hiring, and other costs the company faces when an essential employee becomes disabled. The benefit does not go to the employee personally or to the family (that would be personal coverage), and it is not paid to a government fund. Like key-person life insurance, the business is the owner, payer, and beneficiary of the policy.
