To make a claim you must provide both the policy and certificate numbers found on your Insurance Certificate.

Your policy number is your group five-digit plan number you received from the former Standard Life.

Your certificate number is unique to you. It may be your employee number or another number assigned to you by the former Standard Life.

Your wallet-size Insurance Certificate is both practical and essential. It bears your policy and certificate numbers required for all claims, as well as the numbers to call if you have any questions or need assistance. Be sure to keep it handy at all times.

Drug card – If your plan includes this feature, your Insurance Certificate also serves as your drug card.

Travel assistance – If your plan includes this benefit, your Insurance Certificate acts as your confirmation of coverage and features the numbers to call if you need help.

If you misplace your Insurance Certificate, please notify your plan administrator so that we may issue you a new one. You can also print a temporary copy of it from the VIP Room.

The Enhanced Login Process is a security enhancement that will further protect your online account from unauthorized access and fraud. It uses personal security questions and a personal security image to help us verify your identity, while letting you know you are accessing a legitimate website, of the former Standard Life which is now redirected to Manulife.ca.

The Enhanced Login Process was introduced as part of our upgrade to provide additional security to access your online account.

The first time you log in using the new platform, you will be prompted to set up personal security questions and answers, and choose a personal security image. Once the setup is complete, the selected image and questions will be associated with your online account. On subsequent log-ins, you will be prompted to answer one of your personal security questions if you are attempting to access your online account through a computer that you have not previously identified/registered. This personal security question will help us verify your identity.

If you answer your personal security question correctly, your personal security image will be displayed when you are prompted for your password. The display of your personal security image will let you know you are accessing your online account through a legitimate site. This feature protects you from fraudulent practices.

Note:

Any attempt to access your online account from a computer we do not recognize will be blocked unless you answer one of your personal security questions correctly. If you register your computer by selecting the option “Don’t ask next time I connect from this computer (register this computer)”, you do not have to answer a personal security question every time you log in to your online account.

Simply follow the on-screen instructions to guide you through the setup process. You will be able to:

• Set up your personal security questions and answers
• Choose your personal security image
• Identify/Register your current computer

Important:
Manulife will never ask you to divulge personal information, such as your password, personal security questions and answers, or account information by email, telephone or fax.

No. You will only have to set up your Enhanced Login Process once. However, upon future logins, we may need to verify your identity.

A personal security image is an image you select during your setup process. This is the image we display when you log in. This image lets you know that you are logging in to a legitimate website of the former Standard Life. You can change your personal security image at any time.

Personal security questions are a series of questions you select, with corresponding answers that you provide during your setup process. This is an extra level of authentication we use to verify your identity. You can change your personal security questions at any time.

If you log in from a particular computer on a regular basis, our system can remember you. You will therefore not be required to answer a personal security question to verify your identity in future logins.

1. Go to the login page.
   
2. On the login page click on Forgot your password link.
3. You will be prompted to enter your ''User ID'', email address and respond to your security questions.
4. Once this is done, you will be able to select a new password.

If you require assistance please contact us to speak to a Customer Service Representative.

1. Go to the login page.
   
2. On the login page click on the link Forgot your User ID?
3. Please enter the email address you initially used to set up the account.
4. An email will be sent to you with your user ID

If you require assistance please contact us to speak to a Customer Service Representative.

Your online account will be locked if you have 3 failed login attempts in one session. This can happen if you answer a personal security question incorrectly, provide the wrong User ID or the wrong password on 3 consecutive attempts.

If your online account has been locked, please contact us to speak to a Customer Service Representative.
