Congratulations on your wedding! Once the ceremony and the celebrations are over, you may want to review and make changes to your benefits and personal information. 

Add your spouse to your benefit plan

Your spouse is eligible for coverage under your extended health care and dental plans. If not already done, enroll your spouse as your dependent under your health and dental plan. All dependents must be residents of Canada and be eligible under the provincial government health care programs in their province of residence.

Review your optional life insurance and spousal life insurance

Your spouse is eligible to apply for spousal optional life insurance. You have 90 days from the date of your marriage to apply for the first $50,000 of this insurance without having to provide any medical evidence of insurability.

You can also enroll, change (increase or decrease) the amount of optional life coverage you have with this life event. You have 90 days for the date of your marriage to enroll/change your optional life coverage without having to provide any medical evidence of insurability.

Review and/or update your beneficiaries

You will want to review your beneficiaries at this time for any group life insurance, optional life insurance and pension plan you may have at the University of Saskatchewan. You can review your coverage and current beneficiaries in PAWS. 

Under Saskatchewan pension legislation, your spouse must be named as your primary beneficiary for pension, unless your spouse completes a spouse’s waiver of pre-retirement survivor benefit form.

Name change

If you have changed your last name you will need to complete a name change form and return it to ConnectionPoint, along with a copy of your driver’s license, marriage certificate or passport with the new last name. On the form, remember to sign and date the bottom of the form for your name change request to be valid.
