Answer 1

Tootie will receive $6,200 from her disability insurance provider initially after offsetting the amount she receives from Social Security disability benefits against her SIS offset benefit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tootie, an ER surgeon, has a disability policy with a base benefit of $6,000 and an SIS (Social Security Income) offset benefit of $1,200.

When Tootie becomes disabled, she begins to receive $1,000 in social security disability benefits. To calculate the amount she will receive from the insurance company, we subtract the SIS received from the SIS offset benefit ($1,200 - $1,000 = $200) and

then add that to the base benefit ($6,000 + $200 = $6,200).

Therefore, Tootie will initially receive $6,200 from the insurance company.
