Hawaii disability insurance — frequently asked questions

How much does disability insurance cost?

Individual long-term disability insurance costs 1-3% of your annual income. A $100,000 earner pays $1,000-$3,000/year for a policy replacing 60% of income. Rates depend on age, health, occupation, and benefit period.

What does disability insurance cover?

Disability insurance replaces 50-70% of your pre-disability income if you cannot work due to illness or injury. "Own occupation" policies pay if you cannot do your specific job, while "any occupation" policies only pay if you cannot do any job.

Do I need disability insurance if I have employer coverage?

Employer group disability typically replaces only 60% of base salary (not bonuses) and benefits are taxable if the employer pays the premium. Supplemental individual coverage fills the gap and provides portable, non-cancellable protection.
