Partial disability is defined as what?

Partial disability is defined as what?

• A. 50% of total benefits for a limited period
• B. The full disability benefit for the entire duration
• C. The premium waiver only
• D. A percentage of total disability indefinite

Answer: (A)

Partial disability means you’re not able to perform all the duties of your job, but you aren’t completely unable to work either. In disability income plans, this is paid as a portion of the full disability benefit for a limited time—typically around 50% for a set period—reflecting that you can still work to some extent or earn less than usual. So the best definition is a portion of the full benefit paid for a limited period, rather than the full benefit for an unlimited time or just a premium waiver.
