Cancelling a policy
10. If I cancel my policy, do I get my premiums back?
No. Risk products like life insurance and funeral cover do not return premiums paid if they are cancelled unless they are in the cooling off period (31 days from the date of commencement). Risk products are intended to protect you and your family against illness or death and to cover expenses such as funerals.

Yes, if your policy was cancelled less than 12 months ago. If it was cancelled more than 12 months ago, a new policy needs to be taken out. 2018 was a tough year for many South Africans but thousands of 1Life policy holders decided to keep their cover during this time and thousands who couldn’t later decided to reinstate their cover.
