The portion of a disability that lingers after an insured has returned to work after a total disability. This is usually a partial disability.

If one is disabled but can still work, he or she may suffer a loss of income. For example, the insured may have heart problems and be told to “slow down” at work. The policy pays the reduction in income if the slow down results in a loss of 20% or more of the insured’s income.

A clause used with disability income policies that provides for benefits to be paid when insured can do some but not all of his duties. For example, if the insured suffers a disability that causes him to lose a third of his earning power, the residual disability clause would provide one-third of the benefit that the policy would provide for disability.

A stipulation, usually found in a disability insurance policy, which states that a portion of benefits will be paid to correspond with the insured’s partial disability. For example, if the insured now earns 50 percent less due to disability, the residual income benefit would pay half of the total disability benefit.
