The process is simple. By making it a part of the loan process, once eligibility is determined, enrollment is completed at the credit union. It is fast and easy.
Many sick leave plans are for a limited period of time – often just 30 days. Payment protection may help lessen you and your family’s worries about paying this loan during a time when your income may be reduced or lost and paying other household bills becomes challenging.
Employer disability plans typically pay a percentage of the gross monthly income. This may be insufficient to maintain the income needed to pay all your debts and bills and maintain your standard of living. Payment protection could help you meet your loan payment obligation so insurance and benefits through your employer may cover other living expenses. This could be beneficial to you during a time when your income may be reduced or lost.
Purchasing insurance to replace your income and protect your family from specific risks is one way to plan for the unexpected. Have you planned for this new debt obligation? Payment protection may supplement the life insurance you already have.
Your family’s current standard of living is based on two incomes. If one income is reduced or stopped, what impact would that have on your standard of living? Could it cause financial difficulties? If a protected life event occurs, payment protection could help you meet your loan payment obligations and help you maintain your current standard of living.
It’s great to be healthy today, but you can’t predict the future. Have you ever considered or planned for what you would do if an illness or injury prevented you from working for a period of time? Payment protection may help lessen worries about paying this loan during a time when your income may be reduced or lost and paying other household bills becomes challenging.
Could you afford to make these loan payments if you become sick or injured and are unable to work for a period of time? It is your choice to elect payment protection and decide what is right for your personal financial needs. Talk with your lender about how to keep your monthly payment within a range you’re comfortable with.
