defined
3 definitions of disability - correct answer 1. the inability to do your job or a similar job (the most liberal
definition you will likely find)
2. the inability to do any job for which you may be qualified (this may be adequate for your needs,
especially if your job requires specialized training or strength, but it is a narrower definition, making it
harder to qualify to collect, because it is not limited to just your job)
3. permanent or total disability -- the inability to do any job (this is a very strict and narrow definition
and may not enable you to collect a benefit unless you are severely disabled)

position and strongly depended on by others, they should buy life insurance

in force, subject to any exclusion for suicide.

What are premiums for term insurance based upon? - correct answer age (by year or age bracket),
health, gender, lifestyle (smoking), and occupation
