Income and Mortgage Protection

When you sign on a home loan, there are insurance options that you can add on. It is best to choose the basic unemployment insurance plan. You will be able to save some money by shopping around for a plan and not adding onto your mortgage payments. These policies can often be acquired from other insurance companies and are not that expensive.

Things to consider

When shopping around for the plan that is right for you, consider how long each plan will take to offer a payout. Most plans vary between 30 and 60 days and last for one year.

You should also find out if there are limits on the monthly payouts. If our mortgage is $2,200 and your maximum payout it only $1,500 per month, that will leave you with a substantial deficit each month you remain on disability and it would make the difference between keeping your house or having to foreclose on the loan.
