Future insurability option

The monthly amount is determined based on the insured person's current situation. Their needs could change and their health could deteriorate over time, preventing them from getting a higher monthly amount.

The future insurability option makes it possible to increase the monthly amount at each policy anniversary without providing evidence of insurability.

At the time of purchase, the insured person must select the maximum lifetime monthly amount they wish to receive for future increases. They can choose between $500 or $1,000 per month.

The coverage is available to all occupation classes.

Conditions for eligibility

  • The insured person must be between ages 18 and 50.
  • A single future insurability option is available, regardless of the number of coverages selected.
  • The sum of the monthly amount of the main coverage and the amount selected for the future insurability option must not exceed the upper limit of the occupation class:
    • A, 2A, 3A, 4A: $5,000
    • B: $3,500
  • It's not available for policies with an extra premium.
