Optional Critical
Illness Insurance - Spouse
You can select Critical
Illness Insurance coverage for your spouse in units of $10,000 up to a maximum
of $250,000. This benefit is optional.
The cost of this benefit is paid through payroll
deductions. It
is determined based on your spouse’s age, sex and whether or not your spouse is
a smoker.
You must provide evidence
of insurability for your spouse for any amount over $20,000 at initial
enrollment and for any amount in excess of current coverage. Your spouse must
then complete and submit the form that will be presented at the end of the
process. Any increase in coverage comes into effect when the application is
approved. Payroll deductions associated to this increase will also begin at the
same time.
