Terms and Conditions
Benefits are paid based on the provisions of the Life Insurance Plan, the number of Insurance units indicated on enrolment and change forms received by HEB Manitoba, and/or the administrative processes in effect at the time of enrolment or change in coverage. Payment of premiums does not guarantee coverage if HEB Manitoba has not received the required documentation, or if the provisions of the Plan are not met.
In all cases, specific benefits available and the terms and conditions of the Life Insurance Plan are governed by the Group Agreement between HEB Manitoba and The Canada Life Assurance Company (Canada Life). In the event of any difference between the terms in this section and those of the Group Agreement, the terms of the Group Agreement shall apply. Canada Life administers and adjudicates claims for the HEB Manitoba Life Insurance Plan.
Your employer does not necessarily participate in each of the Benefit Plans offered by HEB Manitoba. For information on eligibility, or for further information about the Life Insurance Plan, please contact your human resources or benefits department.
