### Will I receive any benefits (payments) if no claims were made during the coverage term?
Products offered under the MPP do not have mature benefits. Therefore, no benefit (payment) will be received by the person covered (members and/or dependent) if no claims were made during the coverage term.
For example, for Critical Illness or Life Protection, if during the policy/certificate period the person covered (members and/or dependent) is confirmed to have a critical illness or dies, ITO will pay the sum covered to the person covered (members and/or dependent) or nominee(s) as stated in the policy document subject to the terms and conditions set by ITO.
However, if the insured member and/or dependent does not suffer from any critical illness or dies during the period the policy/certificate is still active/in force, this means the ITO will not process any claims or payments to the insured member and/or dependent or their nominee.
***
### When will I receive the policy document/certificate after purchasing a product under the MPP?
The policy/certificate document will be generated automatically and can be found in 'My Protection Plan(s)' (e-Policy/e-Certificate). However, the policy/certificate document will be available in the e-Policy/e-Certificate subject to the period set (SLA) by the ITO.

Yes. Your policy/certificate will be renewed automatically after the coverage period ends subject to the balance in your EPF Account.
***
No, you are not allowed to amend the coverage amount once the coverage of your policy/certificate has started. However, if you wish to get additional protection, you may consider purchasing another product offered under MPP.
***
If you do not pay the premium/contribution during the Grace Period, your policy/certificate will be automatically terminated subject to the SIT offering the product.
***
The products offered in the i-Lindung portal are Basic Protection products that do not provide any savings and do not involve cash value. If the policy/certificate has lapsed and you have not made any claim, you will not get any compensation/cash.
Therefore, products that include hospitalization (hospitalisation), medical cards or related investments are not offered under the Member Protection Plan (MPP).
***
If you provide incorrect information for your dependents such as 'Gender' and 'Date of Birth' information, it will affect the amount of premium payments/contributions that must be paid to the ITO involved and also the claims made.
***
If you change your mind after obtaining the product under the PPA and have not made a claim, you can cancel your policy/certificate at any time through the relevant SIT. If you cancel your policy/certificate within the first 15 days or 30 days (Cooling off period / Free look period) after the cover starts, SIT will return the premium/contribution paid.
However, should you choose to cancel your policy/certificate after 15 days or 30 days, SIT will refund the unused portion, subject to a calculation determined by SIT.
Please note that after cancellation of the policy/certificate, you no longer have coverage. Therefore, before canceling, it is advisable to consider this matter carefully.

Nomination is important to safeguard the interest of your loved ones and to ensure they receive the protection as intended by you without any delay. Without a nomination, the benefits under your policy/certificate will be paid out by ITO to your lawful executor or administrator to distribute the benefits in accordance with the applicable laws of distribution. The process may take some time. It is important that the nominee is aware of the policy / certificate purchased by you.
You can make nominations in the 'My Protection Plan(s)' section at i-Lindung portal after purchasing the PPA products.
***
*You may proceed to do the nomination through the respective ITO. For further information, you may contact the customer service of the ITO or refer to your policy/certificate documents. Alternatively, you may also refer to the 'My Protection Plan(s)' section in i-Lindung portal.*
***
Hibah, also known as gift (voluntarily) without consideration, is only applicable to nomination under takaful products. By naming your loved ones as beneficiaries under conditional Hibah, the benefits will be paid by the Takaful Operators without having to go through lengthy inheritance procedures or Faraid.
***

***
You and/or dependent or your nominee(s)may make a claim through the respective ITO. For further information, you and/or dependent or your beneficiary may contact the ITO customer service or refer to your policy/certificate documents. Alternatively, refer to the 'My Protection Plan(s)' section in i-Lindung portal.
***
Upon successful payment, you and/or dependent or beneficiary may proceed to make a claim for the benefit with no waiting period through the respective ITO. If the payment is rejected, the policy/certificate purchased will be cancelled by ITO and no claims can be made.
You are advised to monitor your application payment status at the 'Transaction History' section in the i-Lindung portal to ensure no complications to your policy/certificate status.
***
Products offered under the MPP do not have mature benefits. Therefore, no benefit (payment) will be received by the person covered (members and/or dependent) if no claims were made during the coverage term.
For example, for Critical Illness or Life Protection, if during the policy/certificate period the person covered (members and/or dependent) is confirmed to have a critical illness or dies, SIT will pay the sum covered to the person covered (members and/or dependent) or nominee(s) as stated in the policy document subject to the terms and conditions set by ITO.
However, if the insured member and/or dependent does not suffer from any critical illness or dies during the period the policy/certificate is still active/in force, this means the SIT will not process any claims or payments to the insured member and/or dependent or their nominee.
***
The policy/certificate document will be generated automatically and can be found in 'My Protection Plan(s)' (e-Policy/ e-Certificate). However, the policy/certificate document will be available in the e-Policy/ e-Certificate subject to the period set (SLA) by the SIT.
