If you are active duty and already secured your disability insurance plan, you can suspend your payments; hence suspending your coverage too.
Carriers will require written notice from the client asking to suspend their disability insurance contract and a copy of their military orders calling them to active duty.
Suspension of Insurance:
You may suspend this Policy if the Insured enters active military service of any country or international authority or is in a reserve component of the armed forces of the United States, including the National Guard. To request a suspension of this Policy, You must send Us Your Written Request providing information that Insured is eligible for the suspension. If the Insured is eligible We will suspend this Policy from the date of receipt of Your Written Request for suspension (or a later date if requested by You) and refund to the premium payor any unearned premiums for the period of suspension. This suspension does not apply to active duty for training which is scheduled to last 90 days or less.
​
During any period of suspension:
​
this Policy will not be In Force:
no Monthly Benefits, Waiver of Premium, or any other Policy benefit will be available;
payment of premiums will not be required; and
no dividends, if any, will be payable.

If the Insured is released from active duty within 5 years from the date the Insured entered active military service, You may restore this Policy. Send Us Your Written Request within 90 days of the Insured's release from active duty and pay the required premium due. We will not require Proof of Insurability. The premium rate will be the same as if the Policy had not been suspended. The restoration will be Effective as of the date of termination of active duty subject to payment of the required premiums.

​
The time periods specified in the Limitation of Pre-Existing Conditions For Coverage provision are not changed as a result of a suspension and restoration of Coverage(s). The time periods that each Coverage is in Force prior to the suspension and In Force after the restoration becomes Effective shall accumulate for that Coverage to determine the satisfaction of the time periods specified in the Limitation Of Pre-Existing Conditions For Coverage provision.
