Why is income protection important?
How long could you get by without your income? A month – maybe three? Income protection can replace up to 75% of your pre-disability income should you be unable to work due to an accident or sickness that’s covered in your policy.disclaimer
If you have repayments to meet, dependents at home or low savings, income protection can be a worthwhile part of your financial protection plans.
Cover up to $12,000 per month
Get a monthly payment up to 75% of your pre-disability income (maximum $12,000 per month) if you are unable to work due to sickness or injury for longer than the chosen waiting period.
Save on premiums and tax
All applicants will get the first month’s premium waived, and save 5.7% if you choose to pay premiums annually. Receive an extra 5% discount if you also have an Ezicover Life Insurance policy, and your Income Protection policy premiums can generally be claimed as a tax deduction.disclaimer
Monthly benefit up to five years
You can choose a benefit period of one, two or five years and get monthly payments up to your chosen period if you’re unable to work due to sickness or injury once your waiting period has passed.
Two levels of cover available
- Sickness & Injury Cover - can pay a monthly benefit while you are disabled and unable to work in any occupation solely due to sickness or injury once your chosen waiting period has passed.
- Injury Only Cover - can pay a monthly benefit while you’re disabled and unable to work in any occupation solely due to injury, once your chosen waiting period has passed. Additionally, this cover may still be available if you are unable to apply for Sickness & Injury cover.
What’s not covered?
Zurich won't pay a benefit or claim as a result of circumstances such as:
- Intentional self-inflicted act or attempted suicide
- Unemployment for reasons other than sickness or injury
- Uncomplicated pregnancy and childbirth.
