The elimination period is the amount of time you must be disabled before benefits become payable. Choose the time you can afford, from 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 365 days.
Choice of step or level premium rates²

Portable worldwide coverage
You can continue your coverage regardless of where you live if you are a member of the OMA or an Atlantic medical association or society.
Options to boost your benefits
| Own Occupation rider |
Expands the definition of total disability, so that you will be considered totally disabled and receive full benefits even if you return to work performing different duties and suffer no loss of income. |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed Insurability Benefit rider |
Once you have completed residency, you can increase your coverage during the 31-day option period without medical evidence every year to age 55. Learn more about the Guaranteed Insurability Benefit. |
| Cost of Living Adjustment rider |
Keeps pace with inflation by allowing your monthly benefit to increase once you have been disabled for 12 consecutive months, in accordance with the Consumer Price Index and subject to an annual maximum of 10 per cent. |
| Retirement Protection rider |
An additional monthly benefit will be paid into a locked-in, non-registered retirement fund while you are totally disabled after the 90-day elimination period. These retirement benefits are available when you reach age 65 or upon death. |
| 70+ DI coverage option |
At age 70, if you are providing at least 25 hours of medical services a week, you can extend your disability coverage with the 70+ DI coverage option, which allows you to choose a monthly benefit from $500 to a maximum of $10,000 from all sources with a 90-day elimination period. It is guaranteed acceptance — no medical underwriting required. Learn more about the 70+ DI coverage option. |

Step-Rates change according to your age band (under 30, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69) at the time of your plan renewal, whereas Level premium rates have been designed to remain level over time as you age and cannot be adjusted on an individual basis due to changes in your age or health. However, Level premium rates may change from time to time on a group basis depending on the insurance costs of the group. While we cannot guarantee that rates will not be adjusted in the future, the OMA Disability Insurance Plan has a long history of stable rates.
