If you need to re-write your next chapter: Life Events
The benefit choices you make now are not cast in stone. You can make changes at each annual enrolment or whenever you experience a change in your personal circumstances – known as a life event. Eligible life events include:
- Marriage or completion of one year in a common-law relationship
- Divorce or legal separation
- Birth or adoption of a child
- Death of your spouse or a dependent child
- Loss of your spouse’s benefits coverage
- Dependent child no longer qualifying for coverage due to age, leaving post-secondary education or marriage
To make a change, you must notify Sun Life within 31 days of experiencing a life event. If you have difficulty accessing the enrolment system, call Sun Life at 1-866-896-6976.
