New Disability Income Underwriting Enhancements Available Now
Government Employee Underwriting
Assurity has modified its disability income underwriting guidelines for federal and state government employees.
- The maximum issue limits by income will now apply to federal and state government employees who are age 55 and under.
- Assurity will assume an existing employer-provided coverage offset of 40% for federal employees and 60% for state employees. (Other forms of existing coverage will also be an offset to the maximum limits.)
- There is no limitation on length of federal or state service.
