AIG Benefit Solutions introduced the Income PLUS rider benefit to its Group Long-Term Disability Insurance that provides a one-time, lump-sum payment in the event of a disabling condition.

The Income PLUS benefit is unique in the industry as a lump-sum benefit that is not offset or negated by any other sources of income, and is paid in addition to the monthly benefits offered under the long-term disability product. The Income PLUS benefit can be used by employees as they see fit to help pay debt or medical bills or to provide a financial cushion during a period of disability.

The Income PLUS rider benefit is payable immediately after the 180-day elimination period is satisfied. It offers what amounts to 12 months' worth of benefit at 10 to 40 percent of income, paid as a lump sum in addition to the monthly LTD payments. The percentage paid under the Income PLUS rider varies according to the rider option selected by the employer.
