Message from the President

Leadership. Trust. Collaboration. Commitment.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, these four values have been the beacons that guide Assumption Life’s decisions and our actions towards our employees, our partners, our customers and our communities.

Over the last few weeks, we have had the opportunity to demonstrate agility and adaptability in the face of an unprecedented situation. It is also an opportunity to learn, grow together and be optimistic.

Optimism means being aware of the realities surrounding us and staying positive by putting the right measures in place to secure a better future. With this mindset, we are monitoring the situation very carefully and proactively to ensure the health and well-being of our employees and customers.

We are proud to have been, over 10 years ago, one of the first companies to transfer its processes to a fully digital environment to serve customers from coast to coast. A project described as "ambitious" yesterday, but seen as vital today: during the first 48 hours of the pandemic, we managed to make the transition from head office to homework for nearly our 300 employees. This has allowed us to protect the health and safety of everyone, and to ensure the continuity of our services to support you.

In both good and bad times, you can always count on Assumption Life. We know that the current period creates uncertainty and leads to questions from our customers and partners. Rest assured that our team continues its commitment to respond to your requests and continually adapts its processes according to the situation.

Although our Company remains open in telework mode, the reception located at our offices at 770 Main Street in Moncton, New Brunswick, is temporarily closed. However, our teams remain at your disposal, so never hesitate to contact us and to speak directly with one of our team members.

We are grateful for your continued trust in Assumption Life.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones; health is our greatest asset.

We’re all in this together.

Critical Illness and disability insurance

Q I received a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 am I eligible for critical illness insurance?
A: This diagnosis is not a covered illness because it is not included in the definition of covered illnesses, as stated in your contract.

Q: I received a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 am I eligible for disability insurance?
A: If you receive a positive diagnosis of COVID-19, you will be considered disabled and eligible for disability insurance just like any other medical leave. However, the normal 90-day waiting period applies, as stated in your contract.

Q: Am I eligible for disability insurance if I am quarantined due to COVID-19?
A: No, whether quarantine is preventative, self-imposed or imposed, you will not be eligible for disability insurance.

Claims processing

Q: Can I expect longer delays to process individual insurance claim?
A: Assumption Life is not experiencing delays at this time, since all our teams are operational. However, expect additional delays if you require medical documents from hospitals, which are currently swamped due to the COVID-19 situation.

Payment methods

Q: I usually make my payments in-person at your head office, using cash or my debit card. Which methods of payment can I use instead?
A: There are two ways to make payments during this period:

Pre-Authorized Debit — Complete the Pre-authorized Debit (PAD) Agreement form to register, and send it to Assumption Life by email or mail, contact information is at the bottom of the form. Please note, the form must be received at head office at least 5 business days before payment is due.
Cheques — While cheques are still accepted, additional time may be required to process those payments.

Q: Do you still accept payments by cheque? 
A: Yes, if you have already sent us your payment by cheque, no additional action is required.
