Can I access my life insurance if I become terminally ill?
You may apply to receive a portion of your life insurance to help cover medical and living expenses. This is called an
“Accelerated Benefit” and there are some important things to know about it, including that it is not long-term-care
insurance, it may be taxable and it may affect your eligibility for public assistance programs. It will also reduce the total
amount of the life insurance payment Sun Life pay to your beneficiary(ies).
