ICBC – Optional Life and Critical Illness Insurance Reminder
November 27, 2025
To: All MoveUP members at ICBC
MoveUP wants to remind members that between November 19 and December 3, 2025, you have a special opportunity to purchase Optional Life Insurance and Optional Critical Illness Insurance without answering health questions as per article 18.02 (b) of our Collective Agreement.
Coverage Available During This Window
- Optional Life Insurance
- Up to $50,000 for yourself
- Up to $25,000 for your spouse
- Up to $25,000 for your children
- Optional Critical Illness Insurance
- Up to $50,000 for yourself
- Up to $20,000 for your spouse
- Up to $20,000 for your children
If you already have optional coverage below these maximum amounts, you can apply for the difference without health questions. For example, if you currently have $20,000 in Optional Life Insurance, you can increase it by $30,000 during this period without additional medical requirements.
Important Notes
- Coverage ends when you retire, terminate employment, or reach age 70 (for spouse coverage, whichever comes first).
- If you are on leave, premiums start once coverage is approved, but enhanced coverage begins when you return to work.
- Outside this enrollment window, additional coverage requires health questions and approval.
