The Fora Payment Protection Plan is a comprehensive optional insurance plan available to Fora Line of Credit account holders who have requested the coverage, agreed to pay the premium, and continue to pay premiums on a timely basis. Coverage is underwritten by Trans Global Insurance company and Trans Global Life Insurance Company.

If you are eligible, the PPP provides the following coverages:

• Involuntary Unemployment coverage: If you lose your job, the coverage could make up to 12 months of payments, based on your payment frequency, towards your outstanding line of credit balance. This coverage also extends to self-employed individuals.
• Disability coverage: If you become disabled and unable to work, the coverage could make up to 12 months of payments towards your outstanding line of credit balance.
• Critical Illness coverage*: If you or your spouse become diagnosed with a Critical Illness for the first time and survive that First Diagnosis for at least 30 days, the coverage will pay Fora an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of your line of credit at the date of First Diagnosis of the Critical Illness, to a maximum of $15,000.
• Death with Dismemberment coverage**: The coverage will pay Fora, on Your behalf, upon due proof of the death or dismemberment of You or Your spouse occurring after the Effective Date, and while You are covered under the Policy, an amount of insurance equal to Your outstanding line of credit balance at the date of death or dismemberment to a maximum of $15,000. If the death or dismemberment of You and Your Spouse occurs simultaneously, only one benefit will be paid.

*The Critical Illness benefit will be paid only once. When You are simultaneously disabled, involuntarily unemployed or involuntarily unemployed as a self-employed individual, you are entitled to benefits only under one coverage.

**Before the age of 65 (71 in B.C.), the Payment Protection Plan does not require that death arise from accidental circumstances. Beginning from age 65 (71 in B.C.) and thereafter, the PPP only provides coverage if death arises from accidental circumstances and death must occur within 90 days of the accident.

Your Premium Charge is determined by applying a monthly Premium Rate of $1.50 per $100 (or part thereof) to your Outstanding Principal Balance throughout each billing cycle (plus applicable taxes)*. In practice, this means the premium you are charged each billing cycle is the amount determined by adding the sum of the daily premiums during the billing cycle. Daily premiums are calculated by multiplying (i) the monthly rate converted to a Daily Premium Rate (“DPR”), by (ii) the End-of-Day Outstanding Principal Balance (“EoD – OPB”) of your Line of Credit. The Premium Charge will vary depending on the number of days in the billing cycle and the daily outstanding principal balance on your Line of Credit during the billing cycle.

*No premium is charged on any portion of your end-of-day outstanding principal balance that exceeds $15,000. Premium payment is waived when your premium charge at the end of the billing cycle is less than $2.

EXAMPLE:
John is a Line of Credit holder who was insured for ten (10) days during his billing cycle. The table below shows John’s EoD - OPB during the 10 days he was insured and how much insurance premium John will pay for the period insured.
