Right now, one way which families with resources frequently use to provide private financial support to supplement government benefits for their severely disabled child is through life insurance. However, there are not currently any widely used private sector practices or arrangements which make life insurance to benefit people with disabilities easier or more affordable to obtain.

 

 

    UDES wants the private sector to adopt more widely available practices and arrangements that would make life insurance to benefit people with disabilities easier and more affordable to obtain.

 

 

    UDES is currently researching such possible practices and arrangements.

 

 

    UDES is working to identify and contact potential private sector participants, such as banks, credit unions and life insurance companies.
