Additional considerations If I become terminally ill
You may apply to receive a portion of your life insurance to help cover medical and living expenses. This is not long-term-care insurance. It will reduce the total amount of the life insurance payment we pay to your beneficiary(ies). Receipt of the Accelerated Benefit may be taxable and may impact your eligibility for public assistance programs.
If I become Totally Disabled
If we determine that you are Totally Disabled and cannot work, your life insurance coverage may continue at no cost. You must meet certain requirements, as detailed in the Certificate.
If I leave my employer
Depending upon state variations and your employer’s plan, you may have an option to continue group coverage when your employment terminates. Your employer can advise you about your options.
If I’ve had a life change
You may be able to adjust your coverage as your needs change (e.g., you get married or have a baby). Certain changes require you to answer health questions. Ask your employer for details.
Life and AD&D FAQ Do I have to answer health questions to enroll? You will be required to answer health questions if (1) you do not elect coverage when it’s first available to you and you want to elect at a later date; (2) you request an amount higher than the Guaranteed Issue amount noted in the table, if offered; or (3) you want to increase coverage at a later date. You will need to fill out and submit our Evidence of Insurability application which must be approved by Sun Life before the coverage takes effect. How is my benefit claim filed and paid? You or your beneficiary(ies) and your employer will complete the appropriate claims forms and submit
these to Sun Life. Our claims examiners review the claim and gather additional information if necessary. We will notify you or your beneficiaries when the decision is made. If your death claim is approved, beneficiaries may elect to receive a lump sum payment or to have the benefit paid into an account where the funds accumulate interest and can be withdrawn at any time. (State restrictions apply and options may vary by state.) If your AD&D claim for an accidental injury is approved, the benefit amount will be paid directly to you.
