Birth or adoption is an event that, according to the University insurer, might allow you to change your benefits coverage (health care plan, dental plan, etc.). To do so, contact Canada Life within 31 days of the date your status changes. Otherwise, you might have to wait until another eligible event occurs. To register your life event, go to the Canada Life Secure Site.
You may want to review the following (also on Canada Life Secure Site):
- Beneficiary designation
- Co-ordination of benefits
- Dependent life and optional life insurance coverages
