It all depends on who paid the premiums . If on the last payment of premium your dad can prove that he paid the premium with post tax dollars then the benefit is tax-free. If however it was paid by the employer (with pre-tax dollars) then he is liable for the taxes on the benefit. I ran into that and because my employer changed how they deducted the payment for income continuation insurance for everyone- not just me- I do not pay taxes on the benefit which has been quite helpful.
