CoverMe® Guaranteed Issue Life Insurance Important Notice
This is not a contract. Actual terms and conditions are detailed in the CoverMe® Guaranteed Issue Life Insurance policy Manulife issues after approving your application. It contains important details concerning exclusions, conditions and limitations. Please review it carefully when you receive it.
Limitations and exclusions
Benefits will not be paid if death results from suicide or, directly or indirectly, from a pre-existing condition within two years of the effective date of the policy. In the case of suicide, we will return all premiums paid without any interest adjustment. In the case of a pre-existing condition, we will return all premiums paid, plus 10% interest compounded annually. A pre-existing condition means any injury, illness or physical condition, whether diagnosed by a physician or not, for which medical treatment was sought, recommended, required or obtained, or for which drugs were prescribed and/or taken within the two years leading up to the effective date of the policy.

Top 5 questions about life insurance
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period of time and then could renew. Permanent life insurance provides coverage for life.
A death benefit is the amount paid to your beneficiary if you die while your life insurance plan is in effect. A living benefit is the amount paid to you when you meet certain conditions. For example, you can receive part of your CoverMe Life Insurance death benefit while you are alive if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness with less than 12 months to live.
There are two main ways to help your family pay off your mortgage if you pass away: mortgage life insurance and term life insurance.
Mortgage life insurance typically pays the death benefit to the lender. The coverage amount declines as your mortgage balance decreases, but your premiums stay the same. If you switch mortgage providers, you generally have to reapply for mortgage life insurance.
Term life insurance pays the death benefit to your beneficiary, not the lender, and your beneficiary can decide how to spend the money. The coverage amount and your premiums stay the same during your plan's term. You own your coverage so you can keep it if you switch mortgage providers.
Term life insurance premiums stay the same during your plan's term. They increase when your plan renews at the end of a term.
You can generally keep renewing term life insurance without medical questions until you reach the maximum age set for your plan.
