What are Portable Benefits?
Now with our Portable Benefits, you can add life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) and critical illness coverage to eligible workplace plans.
You can apply for this coverage, and keep it even after you leave your job or your workplace plan terminates. Your rates can even be less than you'd pay for individual coverage, helping you save while keeping you covered.
Our paperless enrolment makes it simple to sign up online, so you can select the coverage you need, whenever you want.
How does it work?
With Portable Benefits, you don't have to worry about shopping around for rates or converting your workplace coverage to an individual policy.
