Similar to the way a nonqualified deferred compensation plan provides an opportunity for executives to restore retirement savings rates restricted by IRS limits imposed on 401(k) plans, Supplemental Disability Income Plans can restore the income replacement rates limited for higher earners in Group Long Term Disability (LTD) Plans.
In addition to higher overall base incomes, executives and senior managers often derive a greater proportion of their annual income from variable compensation – a type of compensation generally excluded in Group LTD programs.
The result is employees in this population often do not have the income protection they think they have.
From insufficient income replacement to lost savings and increased expenses, the risks and consequences of a disability are often misunderstood or overlooked.
Consider these hidden risks of disability:
- 4x greater likelihood of disability than death in the working years
- High income earners have a greater probability of being the sole wage earner in a household, increasing the financial consequences of a disability
- You’re likely to fall off your employer’s medical and dental insurance – you would need to pay out of pocket if you wish to maintain you and your family’s medical and dental coverage
- Retirement savings are suspended
- Company matching contributions cease
