RiverSource® Income Protection and Income Protection Plus Overview

So you can focus on your recovery and those who matter most to you

RiverSource offers a choice of two disability income insurance products to help ensure you have the right amount and type of coverage based on your occupation:

  • RiverSource Income Protection provides a benefit if a long-term illness or injury prevents you from working in your current occupation and you are not working in another occupation. There is also a policy option that includes partial disability benefit if your income is reduced due to disability.
  • RiverSource Income Protection Plus provides a benefit if a disability prevents you from working in your current occupation, even if you are able to work in another occupation. You can receive partial benefits if you are unable to return to your current occupation full time.

Both policies offer:

  • An income tax-free monthly benefit that can help you cover daily expenses, maintain your lifestyle and continue to save toward your future goals.
  • Guaranteed coverage up to age 65, as long as premiums are paid. Your coverage remains in place when you are changing jobs or during periods of unemployment.
  • No changes to your coverage without your consent while you own your policy. We cannot increase the premium, add any restrictive riders or endorsements, amend or reduce your coverage because you move to a more hazardous occupation.
  • Coverage for bonuses and commissions so you can protect more of your actual earnings, not just your base salary.

All guarantees are based on the continued claims-paying ability of the issuing company.

Also, both policies allow you to:

  • Select the waiting period, benefit amount and benefit period (up to age 67 in some cases) to help ensure you receive a benefit when you need it most.
  • Choose optional riders that may help your benefit keep pace with wage and cost-of-living increases:
    • Future Purchase Option — Enables you to annually increase your benefit to help it stay in line with your needs, if a claim has not been filed.
    • Cost of Living Adjustment Rider — Provides annual increases to your monthly benefit amount after a claim has been filed. It also may allow you to purchase the increased coverage amount after you return to work.
