SSQ Insurance
Assistance Benefit, a caring friend
Your financial situation should be the last thing on your mind should cancer strike.
With critical illness insurance, you receive a tax-free amount if you are diagnosed with cancer that has a short-term risk of death.
This amount not only replaces your salary, it could also be used to pay medical costs:
Healthcare and drug costs not covered by your group insurance or the public prescription drug insurance plan
Bills for current expenses
Private health care in Canada and elsewhere in the world
Travel expenses for treatment
Home care
Domestic help for housework or childcare
By relieving your financial burden, you will be able to put the focus squarely on your recovery.
An amount if you have early-stage breast cancer
You will not be left out if you are diagnosed with breast cancer that can be cured.
If you sign up for enhanced critical illness insurance coverage from SSQ Insurance, you will receive an amount equal to 10% of the amount of your coverage (up to a maximum of $50,000).
If you have not been diagnosed with cancer
Premiums will be refunded if you have the “Return of premiums” option and you have not been afflicted with cancer during the term of the contract.
You have nothing to lose
Even if you have been paid a partial amount for early-stage breast cancer, you can opt for a refund of your premiums if this benefit is part of your policy and you have not made other claims.
