Retiree Insurance

We offer two retiree plans which include health, dental, and life insurance.

Benefits Administration

Benefits are administered under the terms of the Christian Education Health Plan and Trust Fund by a board of trustees. The trust is a not-for-profit health and welfare trust dedicated solely to providing certain employee benefits and services related to those benefits. The trust is not an insurance company and is not subject to regulation under the relevant insurance legislation of some provinces, including British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba. Extended health care, dental care, and health care spending account benefits are funded by the Trust, and Manulife Financial serves as the claim administrator. Short-term disability benefit is administered and funded by the trust. The employee/family assistance plan is provided by CloudMD through an online platform called Kii; student occupational plan benefits are provided by the AIG Insurance Company of Canada; all other benefits are underwritten by Manulife Financial.
