Insurer remains liable under contract
189.1 (1) Where a contract of group insurance, or a benefit provision in a contract of group insurance, under which the insurer undertakes to pay insurance money or provide other benefits if a group life insured becomes disabled as a result of bodily injury or disease is terminated, the insurer continues, as though the contract or benefit provision had remained in full force and effect, to be liable to pay insurance money or provide benefits in respect of a group life insured for liability arising from bodily injury or disease that occurred before the termination of the contract or benefit provision. 2012, c. 8, Sched. 23, s. 21; 2014, c. 7, Sched. 14, s. 3. Exception (2) Despite subsection (1), an insurer does not remain liable under a contract or benefit provision described in that subsection to pay insurance money or provide a benefit for the recurrence of a disability after both of the following occur: 1.  The termination of the contract or benefit provision. 2.  A continuous period of six months, or any longer period provided in the contract, during which the group life insured was not disabled.  2012, c. 8, Sched. 23, s. 21. Time limit on insurer’s liability (3) An insurer that is liable under subsection (1) to pay insurance money or provide a benefit as a result of the disability of a group life insured is not liable to pay the insurance money or provide the benefit for any period longer than the portion remaining, at the date the disability began, of the maximum period provided under the contract for the payment of insurance money or the provision of other benefits in respect of a disability of the group life insured.  2012, c. 8, Sched. 23, s. 21. Continued coverage under replacement contract (4) Where
a contract of group insurance, in this section called the “replacement contract”, is entered into within 31 days after the termination of another contract of group insurance, in this section called the “other contract”, and that replacement contract insures some or all of the same group life insured as the other contract, (a)  the replacement contract shall be deemed to provide that any person who was insured under the other contract at the time of its termination is insured under the replacement contract from and after the termination of the other contract if, (i)  the insurance on that person under the other contract terminated by reason only of the termination of the other contract, and (ii)  the person is a member of a class eligible for insurance under the replacement contract; and (b)  no person who was insured under the other contract at the time of its termination may be excluded from eligibility under the replacement contract by reason only of not being actively at work on the effective date of the replacement contract, and despite subsection (1), if the replacement contract provides that insurance money or other benefits to be paid or provided under subsection (1) by the insurer of the other contract are to be paid instead under the replacement contract, the insurer of the other contract is not liable to pay that insurance money or provide those benefits.  2012, c. 8, Sched. 23, s. 21.
