You can’t predict an illness or injury.
You can prepare for the financial impact.

A disability can happen without warning—and interrupt the income your life is built around.

One coordinated income protection strategy

Three layers work together.

Henry Ford Health provides two employer-paid layers. Team members may then elect voluntary IDI to protect more eligible pay.

Layer 1 · Employer paid

Group LTD

60%

Of eligible pay, up to a $15,000 monthly benefit.

Layer 2 · Employer paid

Employer-paid IDI

70%

Increases combined employer-paid coverage toward 70%, up to $20,000 per month.

Layer 3 · Optional

Voluntary IDI

75%

Increases total coverage toward 75%, up to an additional $10,000 per month.
