Understanding the cost of life insurance

The more information you give related to your health, the less an insurer typically charges for life insurance. Sun Life Go Guaranteed life insurance doesn’t ask any health questions when you apply. This means monthly payments will often be higher when compared to other life insurance products. If you are in good health, we encourage you to consider applying for a product that asks health questions.

If you have any questions, you can speak with a Sun Life advisor in person or call us at 1-844-528-0583 Mon - Fri 8 a.m.  – 8 p.m. ET.

Additional benefits

Temporary coverage starts from they day you apply for policies with protection between $50,000 - $1,000,000. Coverage can last up to 90 days, and exclusions apply. Your temporary insurance will expire if you don’t respond to requests for additional information within 30 days.

If you die before we let you know of our decision on your application, we could still pay the claim. The payout will be equal to the amount of life insurance you would’ve been approved for. The payment is dependent on the conditions and exclusions in the policy.

When the temporary insurance policy starts

The temporary insurance policy starts on the date you:

  1. Submit an application for insurance, and
  2. Provide the payment information.

A decision to accept or decline your application may take up to 90 days. During this time your temporary insurance coverage will apply.

When the temporary insurance policy ends (Termination)

The temporary insurance policy automatically ends on the earliest of:

  1. The date the insurance applied for starts,
  2. The date we tell you that your application for insurance is declined,
  3. 30 days after we asked for more information to underwrite your application and did not receive your response,

  5. The date you ask us in writing to cancel your application for insurance,

  7. The date we pay the death benefit.

Amount we pay under this policy (Conditions)
