Form Gl4497E PDF Details

The Gl4497E form is an essential document for businesses that opt for a seamless, automated method for paying their group benefits premiums to The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company, better known as Manulife. Designed to facilitate pre-authorized debit (PAD) payments for premiums associated with Group insured and/or Administrative Services Only (ASO) agreements that are billed in advance, this form streamlines the financial transactions between businesses and the insurer. It outlines specific criteria regarding its use, such as when it is appropriate—explicitly for pre-authorized debit payment of premiums under certain financial conditions—and when it should not be used, particularly for benefits under any ASO agreement billed in arrears. Furthermore, the form requires detailed information from the plan sponsor or the payor, including banking details and a clear acknowledgment of the terms associated with initiating, changing, or terminating PAD arrangements. Notably, the document emphasizes the importance of providing accurate banking information, attaching a voided cheque, and understanding the procedures for changing banking details. It also clarifies the authorization given to Manulife for issuing PADs on the payor's behalf and the rights and obligations of both parties involved in this agreement. In addition, it provides guidance on how to submit the completed form, offering two submission options for convenience. This overview of the Gl4497E form underscores its role in ensuring a straightforward and efficient payment process for group benefits premiums, benefiting both the payor and Manulife.
