Employee members' insurance cover

Standard insurance cover

Standard cover refers to the way Death and TPD cover amountsare calculated and usually consists of a formula. YourSignatureSuper employer has decided on the standard coverformula that applies to your membership category and this isshown in your plan summary.

The value of your standard cover is calculated:

– when you join your employer plan– at your most recent annual review– when you change your multiple of the standard cover– on your death, or– on the last day of work if you are making a TPD claim.

Default insurance cover

Where the insurer has agreed to provide default insurance coverto members of your SignatureSuper employer plan, you will beautomatically provided with default insurance cover, subject toyou meeting the necessary eligibility criteria. See the Eligibilityfor insurance section for further information.

Even though youmay not be eligible for cover from the date youjoined your employer, once you do become eligible, the defaultinsurance will be applied automatically. For example, if you areaged 25 or over and start with a nil opening super balance and8months later, you reach abalance of at least $6,000, the defaultcover will be applied automatically to your account at that8-monthmark, assuming all other eligibility criteria aremet andan SG contribution received within 120 days of that date andyou have not previously opted in to cover.

If you are not eligible to have default cover under super law butyou tell uswithin 120days of your employer start date that you'dlike insurance, we can provide cover on your account withoutyou needing to provide information about your health.

This automatic cover will be provided up to the amount of theautomatic acceptance limit (AAL). For more information, pleasesee the automatic acceptance limit (AAL) section. Where theamount of cover exceeds the AAL, acceptance by the insurer willbe required.

The default insurance cover amount is generally equal to, or amultiple of, the standard cover formula for Death and TPD andis selectedby your SignatureSuper employer. Your employermayalso offer default Temporary Disability cover. The amount ofdefault insurance cover that applies to you in your membershipcategory is shown in your plan summary.

Please note: If cover in your SignatureSuper employer planhas transferred from another insurer, then you should readthe takeover terms for insurance section.

How standard cover and default cover are calculated

ExampleJohn is an employee member of the XYZ plan. John has asalary of $50,000. The standard cover formula selected bythe SignatureSuper employer for the XYZ Plan is three timessalary. The default cover multiple selected by theSignatureSuper employer for the XYZ plan is two times thestandard cover.Standard cover = $150,000 (ie 3 x $50,000).Default cover = $300,000 (ie 2 x $150,000).John’s insurance cover will be equal to the default cover of$300,000.

Please note: The above example is an illustration only and isbased on the factors given. The example should not be takenas the actual amount of standard and default cover you willreceive.

Can I change the default cover?

Yes, you can opt out of cover altogether, or if you wish, you maydecrease your units of cover or cancel any default TPD coversimply by writing to the trustee. TPD cover cannot be greaterthan your Death cover nor can you have TPD only cover.

If you need to change your insurance cover please contact us.Contact details are provided on the back page of this fact sheet.

What happens if your salary changes?

If your insurance cover is based on your salary then updates toyour salary could changeyour cover amounts. Yourplan summarywill statewhen these updateswill take effect. Itwill occur eitheron your plan's next annual review date or at intervals betweenannual reviews. If your cover is not recalculated at intervalsbetween annual reviews then your cover will not change (evenif your salary changes) until the next annual review.

If your cover does increase when it is recalculated because of asalary increase and still remains below your plan's AAL, nounderwritingwill be required.Where your salary increase resultsin your cover exceeding your plan’s AAL then youwill be requiredto be underwritten by providing information about your healthand circumstances.

Minimum Death cover for employee members

If AIAhas agreed toprovide insurance for your planandprovidingyoumeet the insuranceeligibility requirements, you'll haveDeathcover according to thedefault arrangements for yourplan, exceptwhere these default arrangements do not meet the minimumgovernment requirements set out in the table below. If this isthe case, your Death cover will be equal to the correspondingamount in the below table depending on your age. AMP willcontinue to monitor your Death insurance to ensure your coverdoes not fall below the minimum.

This minimumwill only apply if you are an employee memberand will not apply if you have opted to cancel or reduce yourcover. Any change to the amount of your insurance cover mayalso affect your insurance premiums.

The amount of your insurance cover is shown on your insuranceconfirmation letter or your latestmember statement.

Details of insurance cover

Death cover

Death cover is a lump-sum amount, paid in addition to yoursuper account balance if you die, while an insured member ofthe plan, and may include Terminal Illness benefit dependingon your employer plan's arrangement.

Maximum amount of Death cover

There is generally no set maximum for Death cover (includingTerminal Illness), but applications are subject to the insurer’sapproval before cover can commence. The maximum amountofDeath cover applicable to you is set out in yourplan summary.

What happens if you die?

Information on how you can nominate a beneficiary and howdeath benefits are paid is available in the section nominatingyour beneficiaries in themember guide fact sheet. Membersunder age 18 are not able to nominate beneficiaries andtherefore ‘no nomination’ provisions will apply.

If youdiewhile youarean insuredmemberof theSignatureSuperplan, your Death cover will be paid (in addition to your superaccount balance) as part of your death benefit.

When we are notified of your death, your account balance willbe switched intoAMPSuper Cashwhich is a low-risk investmentoption. If an insured death benefit becomes payable to us, it willalso be invested in AMP Super Cash. If a death benefit becomespayable it will consist of:

– your super account benefit, plus– the proceeds of any insurance claim paid by AIA Australia

Limited.

What is the Terminal Illness benefit and when is it paid?

The Terminal Illness benefit is an early payment of Death coverif you suffer a terminal illness (see insurance definitions).

Under superannuation law, a member who is certified by twodoctors (one who is a specialist in the field of the InsuredMember’s illness) as having a life expectancy of 24 months orless from the date of certificationwill be considered to havemeta Terminal Medical condition of release, and therefore will beable to withdraw their superannuation account balance,irrespective of their age. Where members who have met acondition of release choose towithdraw their entire full accountbalance, their superannuation account will be closed and anyinsurance cover that the member holds through that accountwill be cancelled from the date of closure.

Before closing their account, Terminally Illmembers should seekfinancial advice to ensure that they fully understand the impactthat thiswill have on their ability to claim against any insurancecover that they hold through their superannuation account. Inparticular, members should consider that where their deathcover is cancelled as a result of the closure of theirsuperannuation account, their beneficiaries will not be able toclaimagainst that insurance cover in theunfortunate event thatthe member dies. Further, members should be aware thatgenerally, Terminal Illness insurance cover is automaticallyprovided as part of Death cover (please refer to your plansummary to determine if you are entitled to Terminal Illness

cover). The amount of a Terminal Illness benefit will be limitedto the lesser of the Death cover sum insured and themaximumvalue of a Terminal Illness benefit allowed under the insurancepolicy (please refer to your plan summary for the maximumTerminal Illness benefit payable for your plan).

If Terminal Illness cover is provided, the Insurer will generallyonly pay a Terminal Illness claimwhere two doctors (one who isa specialist in the field of the Insured Member’s illness) havecertified the member as having a life expectancy of 12 monthsor less from the date of certification. This is less that the 24month certification period which is required undersuperannuation law formembers to close their superannuationaccount. As a result, while Terminally Ill members who undersuperannuation law are able to close their account 24 monthsbefore the expected date of death, they may choose to leavetheir superannuation account openwith sufficient funds to paytheir ongoing insurance premiums. By continuing to hold theirinsurance cover in their superannuation account,membersmaybe entitled to a Terminal Illness benefit payment once their lifeexpectancy is 12 months or less. Further, if any residual DeathCover remains after the Terminal Illness benefit is paid, themember’s beneficiaries may be entitled to a Death Benefitpayment at the date of death.

Your Death and TPD cover (where applicable) will be reduced bythe amount of any benefit paid.

The benefit amount paid to you will be calculated on the dateyou are last certified as suffering from a terminal illness.

If your Death cover commenced prior to 1 July 2014 and youhave continuously held Death cover since, you should notethat the trustee can only pay the Terminal Illness benefit inaccordancewith the super rules. These rulesmean theremaybe some instances where the trustee will not be able to paya Terminal Illness benefit directly to you. The insurer will payit to your super account if you do not satisfy a terminalmedical condition of release (see accessing your super in themember guide fact sheet).

Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) cover

TPD cover is a lump sum amount paid if you become totally andpermanently disabled (see insurance definitions) while you areinsured for TPDwith your SignatureSuper plan. It is only availablewith Death cover, and cannot be for an amount greater thanDeath cover.

Generally, the definition of TPD referred to in this fact sheet willapply. Sometimes another definition of TPDmayapply. Yourplansummarywill advise if another TPD definition applies to you.

Where TPDcover is offered to familymembers the cover amountwill automatically reduce from the your 61st birthday to be nilat the cover expiry age.

For employee members, in most cases the TPD insurancearrangement for your planwill automaticallymake your TPDcover reduce as you get older. But if this is not the case (eg ifyour TPD cover is defined as a fixed dollar amount or a fixedmultiple of salary), your TPD cover is generally reduced by apercentage each year from your 61st birthday or from theretirement age for your category of membership. This alsoapplies to voluntary cover. Details will be described in yourplan summary.

Maximum amount of TPD cover

TPD cover is limited to the lesser of your level of Death cover andthe maximum cover limit. The maximum cover limit applicableto you is set out in your plan summary.

What happens if you become Totally and PermanentlyDisabled?

If you have TPD cover, you become totally and permanentlydisabled, and the insurer accepts your claim, the insurer will paya lump sum amount to your SignatureSuper account.

If a TPD benefit is payable:

– The insurerwill pay it to your account if youqualify as beingtotally and permanently disabled.

– Your Death coverwill be reduced by the amount of the TPDbenefit made. The reduced Death cover (if any) will befrozen and subsequently payable upon your death prior tothe cover expiry age and subject to continued payment ofpremiums.

If you are a defined benefit member, your TPD cover may formpart of an overall formula benefit.

Insurance Contracts Act

The Insurance Contracts Act 1984 requires an insurer to clearlyadvise an insured of their duty of disclosure before entering intoan insurance contract and the consequences of anynon-disclosure.

Duty of Disclosure

Before you become covered by the Insurer, you need to discloseto the Insurer anything that you know, or could reasonably beexpected to know, may affect the Insurer’s decision to insureyou and on what terms. You have this duty until we agree toinsure you. You also need to do so before you extend, vary orreinstate your insurance cover.

You owe the Insurer a statutory duty of disclosure under theInsurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth). If you fail to disclose thesethings to the Insurer, this may be treated as a failure to complywith this statutory duty. The Insurer may then have the rightsdescribed below in the “If you do not tell the Insurer something”section.

You do not need to tell the insurer anything that:

– reduces the risk the insurer insures you for– is common knowledge– the insurer knows or should know as an insurer, or– the insurer waives your duty to tell it about.

If you do not tell the insurer something

The Insurer has anumber of rights in the event of non-disclosure.In exercising these rights, the Insurer may consider whetherdifferent types of cover can constitute separate contracts of lifeinsurance. If they do, the Insurer may apply the following rightsseparately to each type of cover. The rights are as follows:

– If you do not tell the insurer something that you know, orcould reasonably be expected to know, thatmay affect ourdecision to provide the insurance and on what terms, thismay be treated as a failure by the person entering into thecontract to tell us something that he or she must tell us.

– If you do not tell the Insurer anything you are required to,and the Insurer would not have provided the insurance ifyou had told them, the Insurer may avoid the contractwithin 3 years of entering into it.

– If the Insurer chooses not to avoid the contract, the Insurermay, at any time, reduce theamountof insuranceprovided.This would be worked out using a formula that takes intoaccount the premium that would have been payable if youhad told the Insurer everything you should have. However,if the contract provides cover on death or has a surrendervalue, the Insurermayonly exercise this rightwithin 3 yearsof entering into the contract.

– If the Insurer chooses not to avoid the contract or reducethe amount of insurance provided, the Insurer may, at anytime vary the contract in a way that places the Insurer inthe same position they would have been in if you had toldthe Insurer everything you should have. However, this rightdoes not apply if the contract provides cover on death orhas a surrender value.

– If the failure to tell the Insurer is fraudulent, the Insurermay refuse to pay a claim and treat the contract as if itnever existed.

Disclosure and representations by employers and members

The trustee relies on the information provided by you and theSignatureSuper employer. If the insurer refuses to pay an insuredbenefit to the trustee as a result of non-disclosure ormisrepresentation, the trustee will not pay the insured benefitto the member.

Automatic cover

The employer should tell us if they are aware of anythingaffecting their employees as a group (other than the informationabout their ages, occupations and claims experience that youhave already given us) that is relevant to the insurer’s decisionwhether to accept the risk of the insurance and, if so, on whatterms.

The employer does not need to tell us about the health ofindividual employees. If employees do not qualify for automaticacceptance or their cover exceeds the AAL, we will adviseemployees of their duty of disclosure when we collectinformation about their health from them.

Privacy

Your privacy is also important to the Insurer. Personal andsensitive information provided will be handled in the mannerdescribed in the insurer's Privacy Policy as updated from time totime, accessible by visiting the insurer’s website athttp://www.aia.com.au, or by contacting the Insurer on 1800333 613 to request a copy. The insurer handles and collectspersonal and sensitive information for purposes which includethe administration of your policy or claim, the provision ofproducts and services, their business operations and otherpurposes set out in their Privacy Policy. By providing informationto us, the insurer or your adviser (and the licensed dealer orbroker they represent), or any other representative orintermediary, or by continuing your relationship and otherwiseinteracting with the insurer, you confirm that you have beennotified of the matters and consent to the collection, use,disclosure and handling of personal and sensitive informationas described in the insurer's Privacy Policy as updated from timeto time on the insurer’s website. Where you provide the insurerwith personal and sensitive information about someone else,youmusthave that person’s consent toprovide their informationto the insurer in the manner described in the insurer's PrivacyPolicy.

For employee members, the insurer’s group premiums providecover for members at a cost that is generally lower than if theyarranged the same cover under a personal insurance policy.

Your insurance premiummay be calculated annually at yourplan’s annual review or at the end of eachmonth. It may also berecalculated when the amount of your insurance cover changes(e.g following a salary increase). Your plan summary has furtherdetails.

The cost of your cover depends on the amount and type of cover,your age, gender, occupation and the premium rates applyingto your category within the plan.

Where youhave to provide details of your health to obtain cover,eg if you apply for additional cover, the premiumsdeducted fromyour account may also depend on your health at the time youapplied and were accepted for cover.

Waiver of premium

While Temporary Disability benefits are being paid in respect ofyour disability under Temporary Disability cover, the insurer willnot charge any TemporaryDisability premiumfor you. Premiumswill still be payable for any other insurance cover you may haveunder the SignatureSuper plan.

As soon as the Temporary Disability benefit stops for you,Temporary Disability premiums will start being charged againfor your insurance cover, unless the policy has ceased.

How are your premiums paid?

We deduct premiums from your account at the end of everymonth (unless you are an employee member and theSignatureSuper employer has agreed to pay your premiums).Premiumsare payable fromwhen your cover starts until it stops.To pay for your cover we will deduct your insurance premium inthe following order:

– first, from anymonies held in Choice investment option(s),excluding any amount held in term deposits, and

– if there is insufficientmoney inChoice investmentoption(s),or if your only investment is in the MySuper investmentoption, we will then deduct from theMySuper investmentoption.

If your SignatureSuper employerhasagreed topayyour insurancepremiums by making additional contributions and notifies usof this, but then they stop paying your insurance premiums:

– if you're eligible to have insurance - we'll change yourcategory ofmembership anddeduct anyunpaidpremiumsand all future premiums from your account. We'll confirmthis changewithan interimstatement. If there isn’t enoughmoney in your account topay for your premiums, your coverwill stop. We'll write to you, giving you 60 days’ noticebefore this happens.

– if you're not eligible to have insurance (e.g. you have notreached $6,000 in your account or you're under age 25; seemore in the Super law eligibility section)- we may berequired to cancel your insurance back to the last time thatyour employer paid your insurance premiums and notifiesus of this. However, you will have 30 days fromwhen wenotify you of this change, for you to tell us if you want tokeep your insurance - if you do this, your insurance coverwill continue and you'll be paying for the premiums fromyour super account, including any outstanding premiums.

You can tell us you’d like to keep your insurance at anytime: amp.com.au/keepmyinsurance.If youdecide to keep your insurance, the insurancepremiums(including any outstanding premiums) will be paid via yoursuper account. This will be the case if:– you leave your employer– your employer doesn’t pay on time, or– your employer doesn't notify us that they are paying

your premiums.

If there isn’t enough money in your account to pay for yourpremiums, your cover will stop. We will write to you giving 60days' notice before this happens.

Will your premiums change?

We recalculate your premiums when we complete yourSignatureSuper plan’s annual review. Premium rates are basedon your age and generally increase as you get older.

The premium rates for all employee members of yourSignatureSuper plan will be reviewed at your plan’s annualreview, to reflect the profile of the insured members in yourSignatureSuper plan and your Plan’s claims experience.

The Insurer has the right to vary premium rates in the future.Whenwe increase your premiums, at least a 30 days’ notice willbe given to you.Whenwedecrease premiumswewill notify younomore than 90 days after the change. Generally, the new rateswill apply from your plan’s next annual review.

If youmakea change to your cover, suchas increasing yourDeathcover, your premiumwill be adjusted to reflect this change. Yournew premiumwill apply from the date that the Insurer acceptsthe proposed changes to your cover.

If there is an invasion or war in which Australia, New Zealand oryour country of residence is involved, the Insurer may changethe premium rates. If your SignatureSuper employer engages inbusiness activity (such as mergers or acquisitions) that resultsin unusual changes in the number of members insured in theplan, the Insurer may change the premiums rates. We will tellyou if this happens. Unless the increased premium is paid, theinsurer may not pay any claims that are directly or indirectlycaused by the war or invasion.

Government duties

In addition to thepremiums for any insurance cover, governmentstamp duty or a similar tax may also be payable.

Stamp duty is either incorporated into the base premium ratesor is an additional charge.

Any additional stamp duty on insurance premiums will be:

– deducted fromyouraccountwhenyour insurancepremiumis deducted, or

– paid by your employer if your employer is paying yourinsurance premium.

Yourmember statementwill showtheamountof anyadditionalstamp duty (if applicable) or tax deducted.

If a state or territory government stamp duty or tax applies toyou, it will be based on the state or territory we record as youraddress.

As stamp duty and tax differ between states/territories, it'simportant that you inform us of any changes to your address.

Additional stamp duty charges currently vary between 1% and11% of the cost of premiums, depending on the insurancebenefits and the state or territory we record as your address.Additional stamp duty charges can change without notice (upanddown), as governments introduceanewstampdutyor revisean existing one or as we change our address records.

AMPmay also change the way we recover stamp duty, fromincorporating it into the base premium rates to making it anadditional charge.

How premiums are calculated for Employee members

Your insurance premiummay be calculated annually at yourSignatureSuper employer plan’s annual review or at any timethere is a substantial change in membership of yourSignatureSuper employer plan, to reflect the profile of insuredmembers in your plan. It may also be recalculated when theamount of your insurance cover changes (eg following a salaryincrease).

The premium rates for your plan may depend on many factorsincluding:

– your plan's or category’s occupation mix– your plan's or category’s gender mix– your plan's or category’s age profile– the number of insured members in your plan– your plan’s past claims experience– stamp duty (see government duties), and– whether you have selected additional insurance.

Your individual premium ratesmay depend on factors includingsalary, age, gender and occupation. Where you have to provideevidence of insurability such as details of your health to obtaincover (eg if you apply for additional cover) the premiumsdeducted from your account may also depend on this evidencethat you provided at the time you applied andwere accepted forcover.
