REMEMBER TO BE SURE THE DATES ARE RIGHT ON ENROLLMENT FORMS
BE SURE DATES ARE CORRECT ON ENROLLMENT FORMS
Below are several things to keep in mind:
(1) The signature date on the final page must never be
more than 30 days earlier than the effective date of the
policy. If it is, the enrollee will need to submit a new
enrollment form.
(2) The effective date of the insurance plan must never be
earlier than the employment date. A person cannot be covered
on a group plan until she/he is an official employee of the
organization.
(3) It is best to list the employment date as the date the
person is going overseas. This only means that the person is
“officially” joining the overseas staff and is employed as
an overseas worker at that time. This works best for
insurance purposes. Our suggestion is to keep the employment
date, effective date and departure date from the USA as the
same date.
(4) An individual can have an effective date up to 30 days
prior to going overseas. It is best to talk to us about this
if your employee desires this.

"Jeff, I just wanted to say a quick "Thank You" for the newsletter, or "Quarterly E-Bulletin." I don’t know if this is all your work or a team, or you buy content, or just who puts it together; but I’ve gotta say it’s one of the few pieces of its kind that I actually *read* top-to-bottom. [The "Quarterly Bulletin" is written by Jeff, assisted by the GNI staff.]"
"Nelma, Thank you so much for your immediate help in getting my credit from the insurance company. It’s this kind of service from you and your partners that keeps me coming back to GNI for ALL my international insurance needs. "
"Trish, Thanks so much for your follow-up on this. We actually got a check in the mail already, covering all the charges minus the $250 deductible. I was surprised and pleased that we got it so quickly! Thank you again for taking care of us. You have been extremely helpful, Trish."
"Doug, I wish to thank Pei for the first class service I received. I value great customer service having worked for a Japanese airline for 17 years. I believe the service reflects the management."
