What does a Rehabilitation Benefit provide in disability insurance?

A Rehabilitation Benefit in disability insurance is designed to support the insured individual in re-entering the workforce after experiencing a disability. This benefit specifically covers the costs associated with retraining or education needed for the individual to obtain new skills or qualifications for a different job. It recognizes that after a disability, an individual may need assistance not just to recover but also to adapt to changes in their employment capabilities.

While compensation for lost wages is important, that falls under a different aspect of disability coverage. Similarly, direct cash payments and insurance for medical expenses address other areas of financial support but do not encapsulate the unique purpose of rehabilitation benefits. The Rehabilitation Benefit thus plays a vital role in helping individuals regain independence and productivity after a disabling event.
