Important: Your Next Steps
You have 31 days from the welcome email reception date to enrol in the group insurance program. Don’t worry — we’ve made the process straightforward, and all the information you need is on this site. All other programs are voluntary. Check this document to know when to expect each welcome email from each service provider.
Ready to enrol?
Go to CAE MyBenefits – your one-stop hub for accessing all service provider websites.
We know things can change
If you experience a major life event — such as marriage or the birth of a child — you can update your benefits coverage within 31 days of the event.
Simply log into CAE MyBenefits click on Group Insurance Program then Administrator website to make your updates.
If You Don’t Enrol
If you do not complete your group insurance enrolment by the deadline:
- You will automatically receive default coverage, which may not reflect your personal needs.
- The default benefits include:
- Basic Life Insurance
- Basic Health Care
- Basic Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage
- You will be enroled without dependents (Individual status).
- Any unspent CAEselect Dollars will automatically go to your Health Spending Account (HSA).
- You will lose the opportunity to receive up to $50 in Wellness CAEselect Dollars.
Important
- For group insurance, once defaults are applied, you cannot make changes until the next Annual Re-Enrolment period — unless you experience a qualifying life event.
- New employees who enrol after the enrolment period launch are enroling for the current year only. They will also need to re-enrol for the next year to maintain their coverage choices.
We’re here to support you every step of the way. Welcome again to CAE — we’re thrilled to have you on board!
