3. Policy contract changes for residents of Quebec Starting June 1, 2023, there will be new language rules for any “contracts of adhesion”, including insurance policy contracts, in Quebec. These changes are part of Bill 96, which is about respecting French as the official and common language of Quebec.
   
   At Equitable Life, we have made some changes to our contract processes to support this new requirement.
   Starting after May 23, 2023, clients who live in Quebec will always get a copy of their insurance policy contract in French, regardless of language preference.
   - We will only send the English copy to the policy owner if they specifically ask for it. In that case, we would also send a French copy.
   - For clients who request a copy of their policy contract in French, there is no change. We pride ourselves in respecting the needs of our clients.
   
   If you want to learn more about these language changes, visit Assemblee nationale du Quebec - Bill 96. You may also contact your wholesaler.
4. New flexibility with Equitable’s Term Exchange option Great news! Equitable^® has just added our Term 30/65 plan as an option for term exchanges! This gives clients greater flexibility to choose a term plan that can adapt to their specific needs. 
   
   Clients can exchange their Equitable 10-year or 20-year term plans to a Term 30/65 plan as their financial needs change – without additional underwriting.
   
   What you need to know:
   
   •    A term plan that is a result of an exchange option cannot be exchanged again
   •    Exchange is available between the 1^st and 5^th coverage anniversary. 
        o    Only up to the insured’s 65^th birthday for exchange to T20
        o    Only up to the insured’s 55^th birthday for exchange to T30/65
   •    To request a term exchange, use the Term Exchange form.

5. Excelerator Deposit Option – maximum payment limit changes

   The Excelerator Deposit Option (EDO) gives your client the option to make additional payments, subject to specified limits and our current administrative rules and guidelines, above the required guaranteed policy premium. EDO payments can help grow the long-term values in your client’s policy.  This change is regarding the maximum EDO payment limit that applies to the policy.
    
   For Equimax policies with an Owner Signature Date of June 26, 2021 or after where a term rider has increased the maximum EDO payment limit on the policy

   ● NEW! If a request is received to terminate, convert, or reduce the term rider and the term rider has been in effect for 10 years or longer, the EDO maximum for the policy will not be reduced.
   ● If a request is received to terminate, convert, or reduce the term rider and the term rider has been in effect for less than 10 years (it has not reached the 10^th policy anniversary), the EDO maximum for the policy will be reduced accordingly.
   
   Current rules as to when underwriting is required for EDO payments continue to apply, as do current rules surrounding acceptance of EDO payments and maintaining the tax-exempt status of the policy and can be found in the Equimax Product Admin Guide.
