[G039]
Group insurance programs designed to offer affordable disability coverage to a natural group, such as employees of an employer or members of an association and their families. A single contract is provided for the entire group which outlines the compensation benefits available should accident or illness occur to a member of the plan. Normally the compensation is a percent of the actual income of the member and is limited in the length of time that a member can collect those benefits. These limitations are designed to encourage recovery and return to work. Individual certificates are usually issued to the members to verify that they are covered.
