Benefit plan changes approved at the Board of Governors February 2, 2021 and April 6, 2021 meeting will come into effect May 1, 2021.
To help you prepare for the changes, the University of Waterloo benefit plan provider, Canada Life (formerly Great West Life), will be hosting public information sessions in April and May. Information sessions will cover changes to the benefit plan, next steps to take and address questions you may have.
Examples of topics that will be addressed include in vitro fertilization, continuous glucose monitors, vision care, increased age for dependent children, enhanced paramedical and out-of-country coverage, and the introduction of prescription drug management programs.
Following the presentation, representatives from Canada Life and Human Resources will be available to answer questions.
University Benefit Plan recipients are asked to register in advance for a session using the online registration form.
