<prompt> Human: My older brother 32 passed away on April 2nd of this year. After all the things that accompany a death, we went to fill out the life insurance form information and submit all documents. He passed away of a sudden heart attack a few months after heart surgery. Sunlife insurance has told us today that they will not pay out the policy as he did not work the required amount of time. He was required to work 6 months Nov 1st, but he only worked until October 26th before he got sick and went to the hospital. Because of 4 days that he did not work, they are saying that they decided to not pay out the policy.What are our options? We have no idea what to do, and funeral costs have put us in debt. Do we contact a lawyer? The media? Please help!:  <response>: He was required to work 6 months Nov 1st, but he only worked until October 26th before he got sick and went to the hospital. Because of 4 days that he did not work, they are saying that they decided to not pay out the policy.Assuming the above information is accurate, theyre not wrong to reject the payout. The rules say he had to work a full 6 months, and he didnt. No matter how you slice it, 5 months and 26 days is not 6 months. They dont owe you anything.Sure they could be nice and pay out anyways because its so close. But theyre a business. Their main objective is to make money for themselvestheir shareholders. Handing out money when it isnt necessary would be a bad business practice.
