After a set period of time (usually, three months, for long term disability insurance) payments are made directly to the insured person from the insurance company. Depending on the features of the policy, these payments might be made for years or for life; until the Insured is able to work at all, or is able to work again at his/her own job.Answered on July 16, 2014flag this answer
