As notified previously, we have recently changed to a new insurance provider and as such we are trying to update all retired officer personal details to align with the changes and terms and conditions of the new company.
Therefore, it is now essential to have all dates of birth for retired officers who pay both single and spouse/partner cover and also the dates of birth for those spouses/partners who the additional cover is being paid. It is also now vital that we are notified when spouses/partners reach the ages of 65 and 70. Once the retired officer or spouse/partner reaches the age of 70 they will automatically have to leave the Scheme. Should the spouse/partner reach that age first then cover can still continue for the retired officer until he/she reaches 70 years of age but should the retired officer reach the age of 70 first then cover would automatically stop for both.
Please note it is the responsibility of the retired officer to notify the Federation of this detail. Failure to do so may mean that your policy is invalid and may affect any claims.
If you have already returned the Personal Details and Beneficiary Form recently sent out by Emma Carter then you do not need to take any further action but for those of you that haven’t, please could you ensure you do complete and return those forms or contact the Federation Office on 01234 842405.
