COVID-19 and your Life Insurance

COVID Total and Permanent Disability Claims Initiative.

Life insurance companies participating in this initiative agree to ensure that if people lose their job, are stood down or have reduced working hours due to COVID-19, now extended to 1 January 2021 for claims lodged by 31 March 2021, this will not affect their total and permanent disability (TPD) cover if they make a claim.

For more details on this and other FSC life insurance industry initiatives, including the COVID-19 Commitment to Frontline Healthcare workers (now extended to 1 January 2021), please see here.
