Important Update on New Underwriting Requirements
 

Individual Life Insurance

These relaxed measures apply to insurance applications received on or after October 1, 2020, and are subject to case-by-case analysis.
 

Critical Illness

The relaxed measures for the critical illness insurance products implemented during the first wave of the pandemic are now back in effect. This means that no urinalysis is required for individuals aged 18 to 40 for amounts of $100,000 to $250,000, inclusive.
