The elimination period is a period at the beginning of the disability prior to benefits being paid. This is specifically the period of time the insured must be disabled prior to benefits. Elimination periods can be 30, 60, 90, 180 days, or longer and are dependent on the period elected by the insured. The longer the elimination period, the smaller the premium payments will be for the insured.
