Benefit Forms

All members are responsible for keeping their member information up to date to ensure that benefits are administered correctly. This includes keeping Welfare Beneficiary (Life Insurance), Pension Beneficiary forms, and Spouse, Dependent, and Contact information current.

All changes to beneficiary information require your signature and should be made at the Local 18 Benefits office. Please contact the Benefit Office for the appropriate forms.

Updates (add, edit, or remove) to Spousal or Dependent information can be done at the Local 18 Benefits office or online via your Canada Life GroupNet for Plan Members account.

Claims submitted for anyone not listed as a spouse or dependent on your benefits plan with Canada Life will not be paid.

Members can submit expenses using the Healthcare Expenses Statement form or through Canada Life GroupNet for Plan Members.

Note that not all expenses can be submitted via GroupNet. For a list of eligible expenses, sign in to GroupNet, click on 'Submit a Claim,' and then 'Online Claim.' As of November 2013, the following expenses can be claimed online:
