All full time employees, please review the below information from CAAT with regards to your Vision and Hearing Care.
YOUR CAAT GROUP SUNLIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS PROGRAM HAS A MINOR
CHANGE FOR VISION & HEARING CARE
There is a minor change to your Vision and Hearing Care benefits coming in 2022.
- Your coverage will remain the same.
- The only change is to the Vision and Hearing Care benefit year timing.
- This is to match your other benefits.
What does the timing change mean?
Currently, your coverage for most of your benefits is by calendar year. You receive a new coverage entitlement for a dollar amount or number of treatments on January 1 of each year.
For Vision and Hearing Care, there is a different coverage start date. For these two benefits only, the benefit year runs between September 1 and August 31 each year.
For Vision Care, you are covered up to $400 per person every two benefit years. For Hearing Care, you are covered up to $3,000 per person every three benefit years.

Starting January 1, 2022 your Vision and Hearing Care coverage will follow the same benefit year as your other benefits. You will receive the same amount of coverage from January 1 to December 31, instead of from September 1 to August 31. Dependents under age 18 will continue to have up to $400 of Vision Care coverage for each calendar year, starting January 1, 2022. |
