Service disruption frequently asked questions
-
No. Policies that are active or in a grace period will remain in that status until normal payment processing activities resume. Once operations are restored, you will be able to make a payment or update your payment information as needed. To help accommodate customers affected by this service disruption, once payment processing activities resume, TruStage® will be extending applicable grace periods for Life, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, and Preplanning Insurance. Depending on the timing of your regularly scheduled premium payments, more than one premium payment may become due during the extended grace period.
