Group Life
Introduction
You and your family deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have financial protection in the event of death or a serious accident. That’s why the Manitoba Public School Employees Group Life Insurance Plan offers employees a flexible, affordable group life insurance plan. The plan lets you tailor your insurance program to your individual circumstances.
Coverage under the Group Life Insurance benefit is mandatory for all eligible employees hired in your school division or district. Should you need more insurance than that provided by the mandatory benefit, you may increase your Group Life Insurance coverage, provided you meet the requirements of the plan at the time the increase is applied for. As well, you may also choose to add Family Life and/or Accident Insurance to ensure you have the coverage you need for yourself and your family.
Contact your employer to explore the various insurance options open to you.
