Equitable Life's RSP Contest: Grand prize winners celebrate a future filled with possibilities!
The Savings & Retirement team at Equitable Life recently celebrated the successful conclusion of their recent RSP contest with a special cheque presentation to Equitable Life client, Kavitaben Rathod, and her World Financial Group (WFG) advisor, Kinnari Patel, who were both thrilled to be selected as the grand prize winners.
The Grow Your Future contest ran from January 1 to March 1, 2023, and offered clients and advisors a chance to win big by making RSP contributions. It was a hit with clients like Kavitaben as it provided them with a compelling reason to work with their advisors to build their wealth. Clients who made a deposit into an Equitable Life RSP policy between January 1 and March 1, 2023, had the chance to win the $5,000 grand prize. When Kavitaben won the grand prize, her advisor Kinnari won $1,000 as well.
Alex Lucero, Regional Investment Sales Manager, Greater Toronto Area, met with both Kinnari and Kavitaben to present the cheque and took some photos to commemorate the occasion. The collaborative effort put in by the Equitable Life team was highly appreciated.
Kavitaben expressed her sincere gratitude, sharing how surprised, excited, and delighted she was to be chosen as the grand prize winner. She described the experience as “an amazing feeling and our best day in Canada! It was a really fortunate moment for me”.
Kinnari also expressed her appreciation to Equitable Life, Alex, and the entire WFG team for the proud moment and shared that the experience gave her “motivation and inspiration in her future work duties”.
Equitable Life's commitment to offering products, services, and choices that best suit clients' needs was evident through the contest. Clients saw contest messaging through social media and equitable.ca, while advisors saw it on the EquiNet advisor website, through emails, and MGA and WFG newsletters.Congratulations to everyone who supported the contest and helped make it a success!

Backdating of insurance applications – New rule now in effect
Great news! We are making it even easier for you to do business with Equitable Life®. We now allow backdating of life insurance applications by up to 364 days. Previously, the maximum backdating period was six (6) months.
Backdating can result in lower total premiums for the client over the life of a policy based on their younger age at time of application. But clients must pay all the premiums due for the backdated period up front. Thus, backdating is only beneficial when the total premium savings over the life of the policy are greater than the premium due for the backdated period.
To request backdating beyond six (6) months (up to 364 days)
No special approval is needed. Simply add a note to the Advisor Sheet requesting backdating or contact us at any time prior to policy issue. This step is only necessary when backdating beyond six (6) months as the application will automatically prompt to save age within the 6-month period.
Note: The maximum backdating period for critical illness (CI) applications remains unchanged at three (3) months.

Juvenile insurance is a gift that keeps on giving
Life insurance may not come wrapped with a ribbon, but it can be a perfect gift to provide a child with a lifetime of protection. Equimax® whole life insurance provides permanent coverage, with several benefits:
• Insurability – lock in permanent insurance protection for life while a child is young and healthy.
• Affordability – it is cost-effective to purchase a life insurance policy for a child and lock in a guaranteed premium at children’s rates.
• Cash value – Equimax has a guaranteed minimum cash value outlined in the contract. It can also accumulate tax-advantaged, non-guaranteed dividends1. As the cash value of the policy increases over time, the child can use the cash value to help pay for life’s milestones or emergencies.
Protecting a child’s future with life insurance today can be a gift that keeps on giving for all their tomorrows.

Extending premium relief for Dental and Extended Health Care benefits
We know this continues to be a challenging time for Canadian employers and we remain committed to looking for ways to help your clients manage while still supporting their employees.
Although many health practitioners have re-opened as pandemic restrictions are lifted, plan member use of dental benefits and some health benefits still remains lower than normal in June.
We are pleased to announce that we are extending premium relief for all Traditional and myFlex insured non-refund customers for Health and Dental benefits for the month of June, as follows:
- A 25% reduction on Dental premiums; and
- A 5% reduction on Extended Health Care premiums.
These reductions are effective for June 2020 and will appear as a credit on the July bill, or against the next available billing. We will assess the situation monthly and will continue with monthly refunds for as long as the current crisis period continues. The size of the credit may change over time as dentists and other health practitioners gradually reopen their offices. We will confirm premium credits for July (if any) at a later date. Credits for subsequent months will be communicated on a month-by-month basis.
In order to be eligible for the monthly credit calculation and payout, a policy must be in force on the first of the month and remain in force thereafter. The monthly credit calculation is based on employees in force on the June bill. If employees experienced layoffs during the month, that would not affect eligibility for a premium credit as long as the benefit itself is not terminated.
We expect that claims experience and premiums will return to normal once the current pandemic restrictions are lifted.
In the meantime, plan members will continue to have full access to their benefits coverage throughout the pandemic. In many cases, dental offices have remained open for emergency services, and a variety of healthcare providers are available virtually.
Commissions
We know the pandemic has put financial strain on your business as well, so we will continue to pay full compensation. Although your overall commission will be unaffected by these premium reduction adjustments, you may see a temporary reduction in your commission payments if you are on a pay-as-earned basis.
Communication
We will be communicating this premium relief program to your clients later this week.
