You can choose options for your LTD coverage too:

  • Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) - For an additional cost, you may add this rider to your LTD coverage. This adjustment keeps disability benefits in line with inflation. With it, your benefit increases each year, by the amount specified in the Consumer Price Index, up to 2%. This protects your purchasing power during a lengthy disability. Securian Canada applies the COLA when a plan member has a disability for a continuous period of 12 months.
