Canada Life: Group Plan Enrollment is going Paperless/Plasticless
Over the past few months, there has been excellent progress made, and a lot of evolution in the areas of Employer-Sponsored Group Benefits Plans, and I wanted to provide you with a heads up about the new system for Enrollment of Plan Members on Canada Life Group Benefits Plans.
This latest evolution involves Canada Life going paperless and plasticless.
Here are a few details:
Effective July 13th, the Add Employee function on GroupNet for Plan Administration will be turned off. This means that Plan Member self-serve enrollment must be used for all new Plan Members.
To enroll new employees, the Plan Administrator will input basic details (name, birth date, hire date, etc.) into the system, which will then send the Plan Member either an email or SMS message, or both. Employees then complete the process on their mobile device or desktop computer.
New Plan Members will no longer receive plastic benefits cards – these can now be accessed (and printed if necessary) on the GroupNet for Plan Members website, or as a wallet card image on the GroupNet for Plan Members smartphone app.

Faster, more accurate, and more efficient enrollment process.
Captures electronic signatures – full paperless process. No more managing and filing paper enrollment forms!
Allows employees to designate life insurance beneficiaries privately.
Tracks and manages enrollments automatically.
