Example
• Group disability provides 60% of your basic earnings
• In most circumstances, you will pay income tax on this amount
• At a 25% tax rate, you will receive 45% of this benefit after taxes
•If Social Security were to pay a disability benefit, that amount will reduce your employer benefit by the same amount, resulting in no additional benefit
Could you manage on 45% of your income?Representatives of Ameritas do not provide tax or legal advice. Please consult your tax advisor or attorney regarding your situation.
