If salary was $!2k, then could work for $5k. A residual benefit is paying the difference between your old job versus your new job as a disabled person.

The residual benefit is the lost income as a percentage of the pre-loss income times the monthly disability benefit: ($12,000-$5,000 = $7,000 lost income. $7,000/$12,000 = .583. The monthly disability benefit is 60% of $12,000 = $7,200. Therefore, the monthly residual benefit is .583 × $7,200 = $4,200. None of the benefits will be taxable as the premiums were paid by your client with after tax dollars. Statement a. is incorrect because the benefit is not taxable. Statement d. is incorrect because most policies with residual benefits require lost income to be 20-25 percent of prior monthly income
