Yes you can get supplemental coverage. Most carriers will limit the total benefit amount to under 70% of your income.

For example, if your current policy replaces 35% of your income, you can purchase a supplemental disability policy to replace an additional 35%

Canada short term disability is it taxable income?

If you are referring to Short-Term Disability Insurance, it is taxable if your employer made the contribution, and not taxable if you made the contribution. This is because it is treated as a taxable benefit from employment that you have not been taxed on already. Please let me know if you are referring to something else. Thanks, Ragu HandyTax (Disability Tax Credit Consultants)

Is increased Pay in Lieu of Benefits a good idea?

It depends on your individual circumstances. For example, an individual cannot purchase medical insurance for the same price as an employer and insurance paid for by an employer is tax-free while the insurance deduction for an individual is difficult to take. But if you are married and your spouse's employer provides family coverage, you may not need insurance. Or if you have another job, you may already have insurance. The same idea applies to other benefits. Some benefits you may be able to get cheaper on your own, others not. Some benefits you might need, some you would rather get the cash for.


Can you get short term disability insurance if you are pregnant and have coverage through your fiance's company and did not elect short term disability at open enrollment with your employer?

Its sort of like wanting to buy Life Insurance after you die isn't it? I am sure you can get SDI but not to pay you when you take maternity leave. There are three parts to this question and answer: 1 - You can obtain short term disability coverage if you are already pregnant. It will cover you for accidents and illnesses only. Your future pregnancies will be covered if you continue the policy. 2 - Open enrollments are attached to programs you select on a pre-tax basis - per IRS Section 125 rules. You can pay for short term disability on a post tax basis, and enroll at any time. When you pay the premium using post tax dollars, your benefit is tax free. 3 - You should get short term disability at your place of employment. If your employer does not offer the option, its easy to ask for the benefit since you are paying the premium, not your employer. You do not qualify for benefits at your fiance's employer until you are married.

Disability insurance and unemployment insurance do different things.Disability insurance replaces your income in case you are sick or injured and unable to perform your work duties.

Why are people forced to accept medicare when they already have good health insurance?

The current regulations require tat you have some sort of minimal health insurance, either through an employer, purchased on your own, or from the government (medicaid) if you qualify based on income and resources.
