Disability Income Benefits
Employee Statement Guide
Please follow the steps in this guide to apply for disability benefits.
Your group plan requires you to notify Canada Life of your disability within a certain time after you become disabled. This means you should notify
Canada Life of your disability as soon as possible. To notify Canada Life of your disability, you can fax or mail your employee statement, consent
form, and any other information you want to provide about your claim to the Canada Life Disability Services Office. Fax numbers and addresses of
all Canada Life Disability Services Offices are on our website or you can contact your plan administrator for this information.
STEP ONE - EMPLOYEE STATEMENT AND CONSENT FORM
Complete the employee statement and consent form if you are applying for Short or Long Term Disability benefits, Life Waiver of Premium benefits,
or Early Referral Services.
The completed employee statement provides us with general information about you and your medical details and provides Canada Life with notice
of your disability claim.
A consent form is included with your employee statement. Your signature on the consent form is necessary as it gives us permission to obtain
additional information from your employer, other insurers, your doctor, hospitals, or other care providers to help us review your claim.
We may share personal information, like your functional abilities, restrictions or limitations with your employer when discussing your return to work.
We may share medical information, like your diagnosis, test results, or medical reports with your employer’s Occupational Health Services if they are
involved with your disability claim(s).
STEP TWO - MEDICAL INFORMATION
Your doctor will need to provide us with medical information about how your condition(s) prevents you from working. Print the medical questionnaire
form applicable to your condition and have your doctor complete it. Your doctor can fax or mail the completed form to Canada Life directly.
You can choose the other conditions form if your condition is not a specific diagnosis listed or you can choose the “print all condition forms” if you are
unsure which form to bring to your doctor.
EMPLOYER STATEMENT
Your employer will send an employer statement to Canada Life on your behalf. This statement confirms your coverage, job information, monthly
earnings and other information necessary to assess and administer your disability claim.
If your plan administrator has not provided the employer statement when we receive your employee statement, we will contact your employer directly
for this information.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
We will begin our review of your disability claim when we receive your employee statement in the Disability Management Services Office. At that time, a
Canada Life representative will contact you to let you know what you can expect throughout the claim process and to obtain any further information
that may be required.

INCOME DECLARATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
I understand that:
I am required to apply for disability benefits that I or another member of my family might become entitled to receive because of my disability, and that
I may be asked by Canada Life to reapply or appeal decisions refusing my application(s) where considered appropriate.
• during the time it takes for my application for these other disability benefits to be accepted, or my entitlement to any other reportable income to be
reviewed, Canada Life will continue paying me amounts equivalent to the disability benefit payments I am eligible to receive under the Group Plan,
provided I continue to be eligible for these disability benefit payments under the Group Plan (the “Advance”). The terms “other disability benefits”
and “other reportable income” refer to any of the types of disability benefits and other income mentioned under the Offset, All Source Maximum,
Coordination of Benefits and Subrogation and Right of Recovery provisions under the Group Plan, as well as any other amounts, including damages
for loss of income, that I may receive or become entitled to receive as a result of my disability.
• if I am entitled to receive disability benefits or any other reportable income, this may result in an overpayment (“Overpayment”) that I will be required
to pay back to Canada Life. I specifically give up my rights under any law that qualifies the Advance, the Overpayment, the other disability benefits, or
any other reportable income, as property exempt from seizure.
• Canada Life may reduce my disability benefit payments by the amount of other disability benefits or other reportable income that I receive or become
entitled to.
I agree to:
• notify Canada Life within 15 days of receipt of other disability benefit payments or any other reportable income.
• repay Canada Life within the time frame Canada Life advises me of after I am notified of the Overpayment amount or within a longer period if
Canada agrees in writing. I understand that if the Overpayment is not repaid when due, Canada Life may take all necessary steps to recover the
Overpayment, including withholding the payment of, or recovering the Overpayment from, any benefits payable under the Group Plan.
