Business Owner Rewards

It’s not always easy to find time to get everything done. That’s why we want to reward you for taking the time to protect your business and income with DI. Put your DI plan in place and take advantage of these Business Owner Rewards!

5% Premium Discount1

As a business owner, you are eligible to receive a 5% premium discount on an Illinois Mutual Personal Paycheck Power® policy and Business Expense Power® policy when both coverages are applied for together and issued. The 5% discount applies to both policies!

Business Owner Allowance (BOA)2

If you are a business owner and apply for Personal Paycheck Power®, Illinois Mutual will increase your insurable net earned income by 25% so you can qualify for more benefits up to an additional $1,000 per month! Published policy limits still apply.

Qualify for a Class Upgrade?

The Business Owner Class Upgrade means lower premiums and allows you to apply for optional benefits and riders that are available to the upgraded occupation class. This may mean you have even more coverage options available to you. Make sure to ask your agent if you qualify!

Return of Premium (ROP) Rider

Available at additional cost, the ROP rider provides DI coverage if you need it, and money back if you don’t.

This rider allows for 100% return of premium paid, less any benefits received, from ages 65 to 67. Beginning with the 5th policy year, you may receive a portion of the premiums paid, less any benefits received. The policy ends after the return of premium is paid and may not be reinstated.
