PFA Occupational Capacity
PFA Occupational Capacity
If you fall ill and are no longer capable of working, you may qualify for regular payouts if your occupational capacity is reduced to 50 per cent or less and your income is reduced by minimum 10 per cent. The insurance cover will be paid out regularly until your occupational capacity is improved, however, no longer than until you reach the agreed retirement age.
The size of your coverage is a fixed percentage of your salary. If you have PFA Occupational Capacity with automatic adjustment, the coverage percentage will be adjusted to your salary level on a regular basis. If your salary level increases, your coverage percentage will automatically be increased, and correspondingly reduced if your salary level decreases. The insurance plan tops up to a maximum of 180 per cent of your salary excl. labour market contribution etc. You may change your level of coverage, so that the insurance plan will top up to a maximum of 100 per cent of your salary excl. labour market contribution.
If you are not covered by automatic adjustment, you will, as a rule, have a coverage corresponding to 60 per cent your salary (50 per cent, if you are covered by Dansk Metal), and you have access to reduce the coverage to 30 per cent or increase it to 80 per cent of your salary.
As part of your PFA Occupational Capacity, you have the possibility of receiving increased regular payouts if you enter a job assessment or job rehabilitation programme through your local authority and meet the other conditions of payout. The increased payout consists in a payout, which corresponds to the set-off from the public authorities, which is made in connection with the mentioned programmes, and a payout from PFA Occupational Capacity – regular payouts. The increased payout cannot exceed your previous salary exclusive of labour market contribution and the payments to your pension plan which are covered by payment protection cover. If you have a level of coverage of 80 per cent, the extended payout cannot, however, exceed 80 per cent.
If you are covered by the automatic adjustment of PFA Occupational Capacity, the possibility of receiving the increased payout when job rehabilitation benefit has been granted will automatically be discontinued in your plan if your salary level is under a certain level (at present, DKK 170,000 or less), and correspondingly be linked to your plan if the salary level exceeds the limit.
