Final Expense Plan

The final expense plan is a guaranteed coverage policy designed for hard-to-insure individuals who have struggled to find coverage in the past or worried about undergoing medical exams or health questionnaires.

Eligibility

There are only two criteria to qualify your client for full coverage under the Final Expense Plan:
1
Age between 18 and 74 years
2
They have a permanent Canadian address
If the above applies to your client, they’re Guaranteed Accepted under the Final Expense plan and cannot be denied coverage.
There is no medical exam, no fluid tests, no questions and no APS required to qualify for any available amount.

This allows coverage for clients, even if:

• They have been denied or rated for other life insurance products.
• They have health issues that would preclude coverage.
• They have risks that would make it difficult to insure for any reason.

Benefits:

Accidental death protection

The Final Expense Plan policy will offer 4X accidental death coverage for as long as the policy remains in force.

How the Death Benefit is Paid

Subject to the terms and conditions pertaining to this policy, the death benefit from Specialty Life’s Final Expense plan will be paid if:

The insured person dies a natural death after two years of this policy. Or, at any time, an accidental death will provide four times the Basic coverage as covered under the accidental death condition as laid out in the policy documents. See the Accidental Death Benefit Plan details for more information.

A natural death within the first 24 months will receive a refund of premiums paid.

If the insured person dies after two years of this policy and the death is accidental, four times the death benefit will be paid out as set out in the policy schedule.

The death benefit is payable only once for the insured person. There are some limitations and exclusions that apply to the circumstances surrounding the death. Please see the “When this Benefit
is not Paid” for more details.

When this Benefit is not Paid

Final Expense Basic Benefit

The basic death benefit under the Final Expense Plan will not be paid under the following circumstances:

• A death that has occurred within two years from the later of the effective date or latest reinstatement and death, which is not an accidental death, will be subject to no benefit payments. A full refund of
premiums will occur instead of the basic benefit.
• The insured person commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the effective date or latest reinstatement.
• If the Final Expense Plan policy is declared void due to a material omission, misrepresentation or in the event of fraud.

Claims of the basic death benefit are not subject to these above exclusions.

Please note that, with the exclusion of fraud, should the policy be declared void: the insured’s beneficiary is entitled to a refund of premiums from the effective date of the policy, or the date of its latest reinstatement — whichever is later.
