Insurance forms revised effective today
April 4, 2016 Insurance forms revised to enhance Anti-Money Laundering information collection effective today Further to our earlier message about Anti-Money Laundering legislation changes to some of our in-surance forms, today you will find new fields added to the product pages and to the Signature and Disclosure Booklet. These fields will be added for whole life and universal life products only. The new fields identify the industry and occupation of the policy owner (industry and business for entity owners). Good news! When we updated the product pages that are affected, we also made them fillable – you now have the option of completing, printing and submitting (but not saving). As usual, you may order printed forms or submit your application using ez-app. A total of eight forms in the application process have been updated:
When completing the new fields in the product pages or the signature booklet, you are asked to consult a reference chart, called Valid industries and occupations NN1655, which lists the catego-ries of industry / occupation / business selections for your individual and entity clients. Selecting from this standardized chart allows us to store and retrieve the information as per anti-money laun-dering legislation requirements and ensures that your application is received in good order. To give you time to incorporate these new forms into your process, there will be a one-month grace period.

Introducing accelerated underwriting for Family and Business Term Insurance
We are pleased to introduce accelerated underwriting for Family and Business Term insurance to make it easi-
er for you and your clients to do business with us. With accelerated underwriting, the majority of your clients
between 18 and 40 will be eligible to get up to $1 million in term insurance without having to meet with a
nurse to provide blood, urine, vitals or a paramedical exam. Accelerated underwriting offers a more conven-
ient buying experience for you and your clients with a simplified application process and improved cycle time.
Accelerated underwriting changes
Effective April 30, 2016, the following changes will be made to our underwriting requirements and Health-
styles program:
Increased limits for biometric testing
Accelerated underwriting is an important step in our effort to transform underwriting requirements and make
the application process easier for you and your clients. As part of these changes, we will eliminate biometric
testing requirements for clients ages 18 to 40, for amounts of $250,000 up to $1,000,000 of Family or Busi-
ness Term insurance. The only medical underwriting requirement for eligible clients will be the medical ques-
tions in our application.
Clients with certain health concerns or personal medical histories will still require biometric testing. For ex-
ample, those with diabetes, a history of heart attack or cancer, a build outside of defined parameters, a poor
driving record or those who qualify as new Canadians.
Requirements will remain the same for Family and Business Term coverage amounts under $250,000 or over
$1,000,000, and for clients under age 18 or over 40.
Changes to the Healthstyles program
Our Healthstyles program is a valuable and effective selling tool, allowing us to reward our healthiest clients
with preferred rates. Since Healthstyles ratings have traditionally been based on biometric results, we’re mak-
ing changes to enable us to keep preferred ratings for your healthiest clients while accounting for the reduced
requirements resulting from accelerated underwriting.
As a result, we are removing the Healthstyle 2 rating for clients applying for Family and Business Term cov-
erage amounts between $250,000 and $1,000,000. These clients will still be eligible for the Healthstyle 1 pre-
ferred rating and, with our accelerated underwriting guidelines, we anticipate a higher percentage will qualify
for this rating. There is no change to current Family and Business Term Healthstyle ratings for coverage
amounts under $250,000 or over $1,000,000, or for clients under age 18 or over 40.
Life Insurance Updates
Introducing accelerated underwriting for Family and Business Term Insurance (Continued)
Healthstyle reports are based on a client’s biometric results and, with fewer clients providing biometric data,
we will no longer be issuing healthstyle reports for all ages and coverage amounts.
Introduction of underwriting analytics
Accelerated underwriting is made possible by reducing the amount of biometric data we collect directly from
clients at application. We are able to do this by introducing analytics to our underwriting process based on
Manulife’s own extensive data and research. Analytics allow us to gain a better perspective on individual risk
profiles, even as we reduce the amount of data we collect directly from clients. As we continue to build on the
strength of our analytics, we will rely less on traditional underwriting – leading the industry in providing cov-
erage customized to consumer risk.
The benefit to you and your clients
Creating a strong customer experience is our priority. With the introduction of accelerated underwriting, you
and your clients will benefit from:
An application process that is easier to fit into your busy schedules.
An underwriting process that doesn’t require biometrics means eligible clients will no longer have to meet with a nurse for a paramedical.
A quicker cycle time allowing your clients to get a decision sooner and you to get paid faster. A big step in our ongoing mission to modernize insurance
We’re proud of our reputation as an innovator in our industry. Accelerated underwriting is an important first
step in our journey to lead the industry in underwriting innovation as we continue to modernize our business
to improve the buying experience.

Help clients worry less with enhancement to the Children’s Lifecheque Rider
A parent’s concern about their child’s well-being is everlasting, even when that child becomes an adult. Help
ease your clients’ worries, now and in the future, with the new Children’s Lifecheque Rider (CLR) critical ill-
ness insurability benefit.
Now available for all new CLR coverages dated on or after April 4, 2016, the critical illness insurability benefit
provides the option to purchase a stand-alone critical illness policy for each eligible child, without undergoing
full medical underwriting, when they turn 21*. With this benefit, it’s an easy process for your clients to apply
for future critical illness protection for their children and a potentially more affordable premium, than if their
children were to delay and apply for new coverage in the future.
When can the policy owner apply for stand-alone coverage for the child?
Under the policy owner’s Lifecheque policy, CLR coverage continues on each child until their 21st birthday as
long as the CLR coverage is in effect. Now, with the critical illness insurability benefit, the policy owner can
easily apply for a critical illness insurance policy for the child 60 days before the child’s 21st birthday and up to
75 days after their 21st birthday, or on another option day*, without undergoing full medical underwriting.
The new stand-alone critical illness insurance amount can be up to two times the CLR coverage amount to a
maximum of $200,000. The minimum amount of the new critical illness insurance is $25,000.
Easy for you and your clients
Lifecheque is one of the most comprehensive critical illness insurance products available today. Now with add-
ed flexibility, the CLR is a multi-coverage, one-price feature that makes managing critical illness insurance
easy for you and your clients.
Simple – Lifecheque protects your clients and the CLR protects their eligible children, all under one policy. Lifecheque policy owners apply once for the CLR blanket rider and this covers all eligible children until the last child turns 21, as long as the CLR coverage is in effect.
Cost effective – One premium covers all children and will never increase, regardless of the number of chil-dren covered.
Your opportunity
The critical illness insurability benefit gives you a unique opportunity to reconnect with existing Lifecheque clients that have not currently added a CLR and secure new relationships down the road. The CLR is an afford-able, flexible benefit that can easily be added to any existing Lifecheque policy**. And as your client’s chil-dren become adults themselves, you can be there to help them develop a financial plan of their own. *Additional details about the CLR, insurability benefit and option days are outlined in the Lifecheque Critical Illness Product Guide and the Children’s Lifecheque Rider sample contract. **The CLR is unavailable to Permanent Limited Pay Lifecheque clients.

Tax changes affecting life insurance – effective January 1, 2017
Following a series of measures adopted in the 2012 federal budget, a number of changes will be made to tax rules affecting life insurance, effective January 1, 2017. These changes are primarily aimed at standardizing the tax treatment of products as well as provide greater consistency among life insurance products offered by insurance companies.
These changes will have an impact on all products, particularly universal life insurance policies. Prescribed annuity contracts will also be affected.
The changes stemming from the new tax rules are significant. You are advised to contact your clients and to review their current needs. However, these changes will not have a major impact on most clients.
Each case is unique, depending on the financial and tax situation of your client. A separate analysis is required.
IN-FORCE POLICIES
Policies issued prior to January 1, 2017, will not be affected by these changes, UNLESS certain changes are made to these policies on or after January 1, 2017. In that case, the new tax rules will apply to these policies. Here are the main changes that will result in the loss of grandfathering rights for existing policies:
Addition of or increase in life insurance coverage with evidence of insurability (e.g., term insurance coverage is added).
Term insurance is converted into permanent insurance.
It may be a good opportunity to meet with your clients to discuss whether it is in their interest to make changes to their existing policy or take out a new policy now. A detailed analysis of their needs and situation will help you to determine whether it would be best to make certain changes in 2016 or in future years.
In the coming weeks, we will communicate any changes to SSQ products and to the treatment of universal life in-force policies. Watch for updates in our next newsletters.

New Tax Legislation for Life Insurance Policies
We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with information regarding new legislation affecting the taxation of Canadian life insurance policies which comes into effect on January 1st, 2017. The new tax rules will also affect prescribed annuities. Information regarding the specific impact to these products can be found in a new marketing flyer on the Sales Resource Centre entitled Prescribed Tax Changes for 2017. Background The Income Tax Act contains rules that dictate whether a life insurance policy will be considered exempt or non-exempt. Most permanent life insurance policies sold in Canada are considered tax exempt. A death benefit paid out under these policies is tax-free upon the death of the life insured, and any investment earn-ings associated with the cash value accumulated is not subject to annual taxation. Annually, insurance companies apply the “Exempt Test”, which has been in existence since 1982, to each policy to confirm its tax status. In 2012, the Federal Budget announced an outline of proposed changes to this test to reflect updated actuarial assumptions and to ensure consistency across all insurance companies and products. On December 16, 2014, Bill C-43 received Royal Assent with the new legislation taking effect on January 1st, 2017. New Legislation New tax rules will affect all permanent life insurance policies with cash values issued on or after January 1, 2017. The most significant changes to the tax rules are: Reduction in maximum premiums permitted in an exempt policy including Level Cost of Insurance “face
plus fund” products
Lengthening of the “quick pay” period allowable under any illustration assumptions
Lower allowable cash value accumulations inside exempt policies
A higher Adjusted Cost Basis (ACB) that remains positive for a longer period of time on most policies
Expanded relief provisions make it easier for a policy to pass the 250% test, in the event that the accu-mulating fund grows to more than 250% of its value from three years prior. This will apply retroactively to all policies subject to the exempt test.
Withdrawals from the cash value of a life insurance policy for the purpose of policy loan repayments will now be considered a disposition
Grandfathered Policies All policies issued after January 1, 2017 will fall under the new legislative rules; policies inforce prior to that date will be grandfathered. The grandfathered status allows existing policies to continue being governed un-der the current set of rules. However, this grandfathered status can be lost where certain policy changes occur on or after January 1, 2017. Examples of some of these changes are:
Life Insurance Updates
New Tax Legislation for Life Insurance Policies (continued) Adding or increasing a coverage after 2016 that requires medical underwriting
Life insured changes requiring medical underwriting completed after 2016. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, adding a life, dropping a life or substituting a life.
Products Impacted At this time we have a team in place reviewing the new legislation and as we continue to investigate what it means for you and your clients, we will provide further updates. In the meantime, we do know the following products are impacted, but not limited to: RBC Universal Life™
