Making it easier to submit claims with Sun Life

To help simplify the claims experience, we recently created separate forms specifically for short-term and long-term disability claims. These forms were previously combined. Our new and improved forms will save you and your employees time while also getting us the information we need to review the claim.
 
If you have saved our previous claim packets, we ask that you replace them with the new forms. You can find them at www.sunlife.com/findaform.
