WHY YOU NEED
INTERNATIONAL COVERAGE Effective October 1, 2002
Each year, millions of people travel internationally throughout the
world. While many of them may have medical coverage when traveling
outside their Home Country, few will have the proper coverage for an emergency
medical evacuation or personal liability.
Liaison® Traveler is designed to offer
emergency medical evacuation, repatriation of mortal remains, accidental death
and dismemberment, and other incidental coverage and services for persons
traveling outside their Home Country.
This
brochure is a brief description of Liaison Traveler. A complete
description is contained in the Program Summary, which will be mailed to you
together with your ID Card after SRI receives your completed application and
correct premium.
NOTE-
This plan does not offer medical coverage.
For a comprehensive international medical program, contact your agent or
SRI for information.
ELIGIBILITY
Liaison
Traveler provides coverage for persons traveling outside their Home
Country. If you will be traveling outside of your Home Country, the

dependent children (over 14 days and under 19 years of age, or under 25 years
of age if they are attending an accredited institution of higher learning on a
full-time basis and wholly dependent upon the Insured for support and
maintenance.)
Home
Country (or Country of Residence) is defined as - The country where an eligible
person(s) has his/her true, fixed and permanent home and principal
establishment, and to which he/she has the intention of returning.
PERIOD OF COVERAGE

three coverage period options for Liaison Traveler, a three-month, a six-month,

insured persons will be covered anytime they are outside their Home Country or

latest of the following:
1.
The date
your Application and premium are received by SRI; or
2.
The
date you request on the Application.
Expiration Date - Your coverage will end either
Three, Six or Twelve months after the Effective Date (depending upon the
coverage period chosen). If you choose, coverage can be easily rewritten.

DESCRIPTION OF
