Disability Income Record System (dirs)

Definition of "Disability income record system (dirs)"

Service under the auspices of the medical information bureau (MIB) that provides the insurance company with nonmedical information concerning the APPLICANT for DISABILITY INCOME INSURANCE. The purpose of this System is to warn the insurance company in the event the applicant tries to purchase excessive amounts of disability income insurance from various companies. The member insurance company is required to report to the DIRS an applicant for disability income insurance in amounts of at least $300 per month to be paid to the disabled insured for at least 12 months. The DIRS then stores this information in its computer files, from which it is retrievable by any member company.
