Question

An insured purchases a disability income policy with a 90-day elimination period. If a disability lasts 100 days, the insured would be entitled to receive benefits for ___ days.

A. 100.
B. 10.
C. 190.
D. 90.

Answer 1

The insured would be entitled to receive benefits for 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of days the insured would be entitled to receive benefits, we need to subtract the elimination period from the total duration of the disability. In this case, the elimination period is 90 days and the disability lasts 100 days. Subtracting 90 from 100 gives us 10. Therefore, the insured would be entitled to receive benefits for 10 days.
