Policyholders can now request a refund even after submitting a claim, provided they return home before the policy expiry date.

  • For full payment policies, they can request to withdraw the claim. The amount of any paid claims, along with a policy handling fee and administration fee ($300), will be deducted from the refund.
  • For policies on the Monthly Payment Option, there are no refunds, but policyholders can request to stop all future payments effective from the processing date without additional fees.
