Types of Income Protection Policies


There are different types of policies you can buy that will provide you protection when you are incapacitated due to an injury or illness. xLife income protection is available in five different types of insurance policies.

You can get a renewable policy that you can renew every five to ten years. When you renew these policies you can increase your coverage amount. There are reviewable policies. These policies start out having the cheapest premiums of all the different types of policies, but the company will review your premiums every few years, and they reserve the right to increase the premium amounts.

An increased IPI is set up to gain in value over the years. Inflation increases the amount of money it takes to live, so it makes sense to have your coverage inflate as well. This type of coverage will provide you the best assurance that in case of an emergency, your needs will all still be met.

Unit linked policies work on the same principles as the unit linked life insurance coverage. These do not gain a value that will make it profitable to sell. Group policies are offered by many employers. By providing employees with the ability to purchase group policies the company can save their employees money on their premiums.
