What situations are covered by income insurance?
Revolut income insurance offers limited cover for unexpected income loss if you’re unable to work due to total temporary disablement or involuntary loss of employment, subject to policy terms.
What is total temporary disablement?
Temporary total disablement is a period when an accident or illness leaves you completely unable to do your usual job, requiring 100% sick leave for more than 5 consecutive days.
Alongside the general eligibility criteria, income insurance won't cover disablement directly or indirectly caused by:
- Medical conditions treated within the 12 months before activating the insurance
- Alcohol, narcotic, or prescription drug abuse
- Intentional self-harm or gross negligence
- Participation in brawls or criminal acts
What is involuntary loss of employment?
Involuntary loss of employment means you were dismissed from a permanent role, are fully unemployed for more than 30 days, and qualify for state unemployment benefits. Along with general eligibility criteria, you won't be covered if:
- You worked under 16 hours a week or your fixed-term contract expired
- You were with your employer for less than 3 consecutive months before filing a claim
- You resigned or accepted voluntary redundancy
- You were self-employed or unemployed when you activated the policy
- You were dismissed for misconduct, fraud, dishonesty, or similar reasons
