Recommendation Disability

Recommendation - Disability Screen
 

Proposed Monthly Benefits

Enter a monthly benefit to illustrate for each client as a proposed recommendation for new disability income insurance.  The “Monthly Income Need” line tells you how much each client would need to cover their desired monthly income reduced by their non-salary other income and existing disability policy benefits.  If you enter a monthly benefit greater than or equal to the “Monthly Income Need” amount, then the Recommendation page in the presentation will illustrate 100% of their Disability Income Needs Goal funded.  If you enter a proposed monthly benefit less than the needed amount, the Recommendation page will illustrate the percent of the needed amount that is now funded by the recommendation.

Click the details button to enter the proposed policy details.
