If You Pass Away

• Someone must inform Johnson Inc. of your death by calling (902) 628-3537 or 1 800 371-9516. A representative will then provide the necessary information and documentation.
• To submit a claim, your beneficiary must complete the applicable claim form and submit it along with proof of death as soon as possible. Johnson Inc. will advise you of all documents that must be submitted. There are important deadlines to be aware of to ensure continuation of coverage for your dependents.
