Benefits

Get full cover for up to 6 months if you apply for this benefit within 3 months of the birth or legal adoption of a child. This benefit has a waiting period of 6 months and you must provide an unabridged birth certificate or adoption letter when you apply.

Pause your policy for up to 6 months without paying any monthly premiums and without any cover during this time. You can restart your policy any time in the 6-month period to reactivate your cover and premium. This benefit has a waiting period of 24 months and no documents are needed to apply.

If you switch from any other licensed insurer and that policy’s waiting period is over, we’ll waive your waiting period for natural death for the same cover amount as your previous policy, provided you qualify for that amount of cover with us.
