Disability Mortgage Insurance

Insurance

Disability Mortgage Insurance is a voluntary insurance product that helps make eligible mortgage payments if the insured borrower becomes disabled due to a covered illness or injury and is unable to work. Benefits are provided for a specified period according to the policy's terms, conditions, limitations, waiting periods, and exclusions.

Disability Mortgage Insurance helps homeowners continue making eligible mortgage payments during a covered disability, reducing financial stress and protecting homeownership.

Why it matters for financial institutions

Disability Mortgage Insurance helps borrowers remain current on mortgage obligations during periods of covered disability, reducing the risk of delinquency and foreclosure. For financial institutions, it supports portfolio stability, strengthens borrower relationships, and enhances mortgage lending programs with valuable voluntary protection products.
