How to Enrol in Benefits
Upon your benefits eligibility, you will receive an email invitation from Manulife
to register and enrol. Visit www.manulife.ca to register and access your online
benefits enrolment tool. Your benefits enrolment event will be open for 14 days
following your benefits eligibility date. You will need your policy number and
your employee ID to register, along with your banking information to set up direct
payment for your claims. If your spouse also has benefits with Manulife, please have
their policy information handy to set up direct coordination of benefits.

Coordination of Benefits
Associates who opt into health and dental benefits and whose partner also has a
benefit plan can take advantage of the coordination of benefit process, which can
lead to up to 100% of eligible expenses being reimbursed. Associates will always be
required to submit their own claims through the AEO plan first. Any portion that is not
covered should then be submitted to the plan of the partner for reimbursement. The
partner must always submit to his/her benefit plan first, then submit any remainder
through the AEO plan. If you are claiming expenses for your children and both you
and your partner have coverage under different plans, you must first claim under the
plan of the parent with the earlier birthday in the calendar year.

Eligible Dependents
It’s important to make sure your family has the coverage they need. Your
eligible dependents are defined as your spouse (including same-sex spouse
or common-law partner after one year of cohabitation) and your children — natural,
adopted, step-children, or those whom you have legal guardianship of.

Separated spouses are not eligible for coverage under our plan as they are not
cohabitating or representing as a family unit to the community.

Children are covered up to age 21, or up to their 26th birthday if they are in post-
secondary school. Over-age dependents must re-certify every summer, or the
benefits will be terminated on August 31.
