income protection

Salary loss coverage

Income protection is insurance that replaces a portion of your earnings if illness or injury prevents you from working.

Unlike disability insurance, which may pay a lump sum, income protection typically provides ongoing monthly payments until you recover or reach retirement age: Her income protection policy covered 70% of her salary while she was recovering from surgery.
