Expand Your Book

Do you want to expand your book of business by selling enhanced DBL, TDI, and TDB insurance, as well as increasing your commissions through ancillary products?

The service you receive from your wholesale insurance broker is up to you.

In New York, New Jersey, and Hawaii, it is mandatory for all employers to carry short term state disability insurance for their employees. The cost and weekly benefit amounts vary by state, as do employers’ options for purchasing this insurance.

As an insurance agent, you can offer your clients in New York coverage through New York State Insurance Fund (NYSIF) disability and their employees will receive the minimum required amount of benefits. You may also choose to offer business owners in Hawaii and New Jersey the option of purchasing their temporary disability insurance (TDI) or temporary disability benefits insurance (TDB) from their respective states.

What many insurance agents – and the business owners they service — don’t know is that they can save their customers money and offer enhanced benefits by purchasing state disability insurance through a private carrier – and get compensated for it.

Is $170 a Week Enough for Anyone To Live On? The State of New York Thinks So!

The state minimum coverage per employee in New York remains at rates set in 1989. That means temporarily disabled employees and employees on maternity leave receive just $170 / week from NYSIF disability. In the event of a catastrophic illness or injury, what employee could live on that without some form of supplemental coverage? A mother on maternity leave could spend almost that much on diapers and formula. Employees need more than that if they are unable to work for a short time due to illness, injury or childbirth, and employers will improve morale, retention, and long-term productivity by providing it.

It’s as simple as this: In today’s competitive employment environment, if business owners want to attract top talent in any sector, they have to offer their employees more – more coverage, more options, and more security. As their insurance agent of choice, you are in a unique position to offer that enhanced coverage and multi-line discounts on other insurance products that are crucial for business continuity and their employees’ peace-of-mind.

Privatized disability insurance pays commissions, while the state funds do not.

That’s right – this is a huge segment of business you are missing out on if you don’t show your customers the benefits of enriched Disability Benefits Law coverage, Temporary Disability Insurance or Temporary Disability Benefits.
