Group Long-Term Disability Plus Insurance

Unlike other disability insurance, our Long-Term Disability Plus insurance has the added protection of the "Own Occupation" clause (member only) up to age 65. This allows you to collect benefits if you’re unable to perform your specific law specialty, even if you’re able to work in another occupation or specialty. It also automatically includes Presumptive Disability, which waives any waiting period in certain situations.

Key features and options:

  • Available for Bar Association Members1 and Spouses/Domestic Partners under age 65 residing in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and who are working full-time. (Not available for residents of NH, or NV.)
  • Coverage amounts up to $12,000 a month for members and up to $5,000 a month for Spouses/Domestic Partners.
  • Choice of waiting periods helps reduce premiums.
  • Your coverage is renewable as long as you remain an active Bar Association Members, stay employed full-time, you are under age 75.
  • "Own Occupation" (for members only) allows you to collect benefits if you’re unable to perform your specific specialty of law up to age 65, even if you’re able to work in another occupation or specialty.
  • Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) option rider ensures your benefits keep pace with inflation.
  • Law School Loan Payment option rider will pay up to $200,000 in eligible law school student loans. Members must be under age 40 to apply and must be permanently disabled prior to age 45.
  • Catastrophic Disability option rider pays an additional 25% of benefit should you lose the ability to perform activities of daily living.
  • Portable,2 so you can take your coverage with you through changes in your career.
  • A no-cost benefit for up to one-month of benefits to an insured member to care for a close family member with a serious health condition.

"Most of us are aware of the need for life insurance, but don’t know the security that comes with having disability insurance. You never think about it when you are young and fit – maybe until it is too late. It is a risk you don’t want to take. ABE insurance products protect me and my family."
