IP Claims After Employment Termination

3 min. readlast update: 08.31.2024

Addressing Concerns Post-Employment Termination

When your employment ends, it can raise questions about the status of an existing Income Protection (IP) insurance claim. Understanding how this change affects your claim is important for maintaining financial security. Here's a guide to the key considerations and steps to follow.

Evaluating the Impact on Your Claim

  • Termination Due to Health Reasons

If your job termination is directly related to the health condition underlying your IP claim, the claim will likely continue as per the existing terms. Insurers generally consider health reasons to be a valid basis for continuing benefits.

  • Reviewing Policy Terms

Each IP policy contains specific provisions regarding how employment termination affects claims. It's crucial to review these details to understand the implications for your situation. This review will help clarify whether your change in employment status will impact your benefits.

  • Claim Initiation and Approval Timeline

If your IP claim was initiated and approved before your employment ended, it typically remains valid despite changes in your employment status. The insurer's obligation to pay benefits continues based on the conditions met at claim approval.

Details of Termination

It is vital to provide your insurer with comprehensive information about your job termination, including the reasons and any supporting documents. Clear documentation can help your insurer understand the context of your termination and its connection to your health condition.

  • Regular Health Updates

Updating your medical status is key to affirming your IP claim's ongoing relevance and legitimacy, especially after losing your job. Regular medical reports help demonstrate that your condition persists and you cannot work as before.
