Yes...check again...$316 is the annual premium, not monthly.

Loss of License pays 48 months beginning after the 12 month, up to $4800 a month. Does not offset against other LTD payments. This pays if you can not fly a plane again. Doesnt matter if you can work another job, it pays the 48 month.

Loss of License PLus is the above and the "plus" portion begins after the 48th payment, so after 5 years with the first year disqualification period. It pays half of your monthly payment from the 49th payment on. So if you were getting $4800 a month for the Loss of License portion, you will get $2400 a month for the plus.

The Plus is only if youre disabled. So yes, its not going to be as if you got diabetes and think you're going to collect the $2400 a month until 65.

I got the regular Loss of License. Its a no brainer for me and will pay me $4800 a month for 48 months, helping me bridge myself until my next career. Im in my 30s and dont need a policy to take me to retirement, I need something to bridge me to another career and allow me to get retrained/schooled in something while taking in the $4800 a month for those 48 months. The $45 I pay a month for this policy helps me sleep better knowing im not destined for financial ruin if something were to happen.
That's great info, thank you!

Does anyone know which or if any majors or LCC's allow you to retire at 55-60 and keep the health ins. until your Medicare eligible?

Oh nice. I will be signing up for that.

Do they go up every year or are you locked in at that rate forever?

It would be a Christmas miracle is you could lock in LTD premiums at 30 years old for the rest of your life. They go up every year. Its cheap until you hit 40, in which it seems to almost double.
