Have you ever thought about who would provide financial help to you and your family if you can no longer do that? The thought is scary, but planning beforehand will prepare you and your dependents for any accidental disability. It’s better to be prepared for the future instead of suffering because you didn’t plan and sort your finances.

Here’s everything you should know about an accidental disability.

  

Definition of Disability

The definition of disability varies between different insurance companies in Canada, and you should purchase accidental disability insurance that fits your disability. Some accident disability plans encourage you to take part in a rehabilitation plan to get back on your feet and start earning.

What is Accident Disability Program?

An accident disability program means that you can get disability benefits only if you can’t move and work. In accident disability, you can’t work due to injury or disability in the same occupation you used to work in before. However, if you can now work in a different occupation with your injury, you won’t be eligible to get disability benefits.

 

Some insurance policies and programs decrease or stop your benefits if you switch jobs after an accidental disability.

● If you’ve paid the entire disability insurance amount yourself, your benefits won’t have income taxes.

● However, if your employer has paid some part of your disability insurance, you have to pay income taxes based on your income.

● If you have a mobility disability preventing you from using public transport, you can get the gas amount as a benefit.

● You can get education funding if you live with a physical or mental disability.

● If you have a disability, you can also apply for funds at Canada’s pension plan.

● If you’re a veteran and got injured while serving Canada, your disability benefits will be entirely tax-free.
