Choosing a waiting period
With most policies, you can choose a waiting period of 30, 60 or 90 days. This is the time you'll need to wait from the moment you fall ill or incur an injury to the point when you start to receive salary insurance benefits. During the interim period, you'll need to rely on your own savings and any sick leave pay to cover your daily expenses.
📌 Keep in mind: It can take longer than your chosen waiting period to settle your claim. In this case, your benefit will be paid in arrears from the end date of your waiting period.
