Membership Termination

Your membership in the Telecommunication Workers Benefit Plan terminates on the earliest of the following dates:

• the date you are no longer employed by Telus;
• the date you are no longer a Member of the TWU Bargaining Unit at Telus;
• the date that the Plan is terminated;
• the date you cease making contributions to the Plan;
• the date of your death
  

Continuation of Plan Coverage After Termination

If your membership under the Plan terminates due to termination of your employment or Plan termination, you will continue to be covered for Group Life Insurance and Survivor Income Benefits for a further 31 days. During this period you can apply to the Plan's insurance company for an individual policy of insurance for an amount not exceeding the total value of your coverage at the date your membership terminated. Although you would not have to provide medical evidence of insurability you may wish to do so in order to obtain lower premium rates which may be available to younger, non-smoking, low-risk individuals.
