16/8/2004 The Importance of the Fund’s Salary Continuance Insurance
Salary Continuance Insurance protects you and your family against loss of earnings if you are totally disabled or as a result of injury or illness.
Most people insure their assets such as their home and contents. However, you should also consider how to replace your income if you were unable to work.
How would you pay for the following if your income ceased:
your mortgage
living costs
education costs
insurance premiums
While many people believe WorkCover will cover them, what most people don't realise is that WorkCover only covers you if you are injured at work.
Rei Super offers low cost Salary Continuance Insurance to all members working over 20 hours per week who are under age 65. Rei Super Salary Protection will cover 75% of your "pre disability" income (averaged over the last three years), less any amount you are entitled to receive as compensation for loss of income. There is a 90-day waiting period before a benefit will be paid. The benefit will be paid for up to a maximum of 2 years.
Below we have highlighted some examples of how much Salary Continuance will cost per annum. The Salary Continuance premiums are deducted from your employer's contributions. If you have any queries please contact Sue Johnson or Cameron McGillivray on 03 8676 0311 or bdm@reisuper.com.au.
