Disability income

Disability Income offers a monthly amount in case of total disability following an accident or an illness. This amount allows the insured to meet his financial obligations by paying a percentage of his personal income as a replacement income.

The calculation of this amount is adapted to the unique situation of an agricultural producer by taking into account the major investments that are needed in an agricultural business and allows farmers to add the amortization cost in the calculation of their insurable income.

Target market

To access the agricultural producer illustration within the illustration software, go in the “Occupation information” section. Then select the Income and current employment situation followed by “Agricultural Producer” (Agriculture).

You must have determined the occupation class of the client from the occupation list prior to this step. The agricultural producer must meet the following eligibility requirements:

  • Be a recognized agricultural producer and own an agricultural business
  • Hold at least 20% of the shares in the agricultural business

Particularities

A farm producer is engaged in the production of an agricultural product. He must own the farm and hold at least 20% of the shares.

To establish the disability income monthly amount, the insurable income considers the salary, the business profit (loss) and the amortization indicated in the income statement and tax returns of the farm operation.
