What are some common long-term disability policy terms?

Although each individual policy has unique terms and requirements, there are four general criteria an long-term disability policyholder must meet to qualify for benefits:

• The claimant has a serious physical or mental condition;
  
• The condition in question is expected to last for at least one year or longer;
  
• The condition in question impairs the claimant’s ability to perform the duties of their current job;
  
• The claimant is up-to-date on paying their policy premiums.
