************************************************************** IFCSS Headquarters News Release No. 5044 Aug 26, 1993 ************************************************************** Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) 733 15th Street, N.W., Suite 440, Washington, D.C.20005 Tel. (202)347-0017 Fax: (202)347-0018 Email: ifcss@wam.umd.edu Ambassador Plan If you are a visiting scholar or have left school, IFCSS Medical Insurance Plan cannot benefit you, for it requires you to register at least 3 credit hours (graduate student). With the implementation of The Chinese Student Protection Act, a large number of students will be leaving school and hence will no longer be eligible for the student plan. In addition, it is usually hard for you to find a good plan for your visiting parents . To help all of you who are not eligible for the student plan, IFCSS now recommends to you Ambassador Plan. The insurer in this case is Pan American Life (an A+ company), with IGS, an old partner of IFCSS, in charge of the marketing. Ambassador Plan is flexible and suitable for people in all different statuses. It is ideal for short-term coverage. When there is a gap between the time you graduate and the time you find a permanent job, Ambassador Plan provides you with temporary protection. Unlike the student plan that has a universal rate, the premium of Ambassador Plan depends on your age. For further information, please call IGS at 800-394- 2500 or contact IFCSS HQ. Note: Those who are currently students but have applied for PR can still buy the student plan. You will be covered till your term expires. For instance, if you are a student now and buy or renew the student plan for one year (till August,1994), your claims will still be honored if you graduate in the meantime. Needless to say, you are not eligible to renew if you are no longer a student at the time of renewal. ********************************************************************* * IFCSS Headquarters Office * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * President: Lin Changsheng Vice President: Shi Heping * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * PBS-L is IFCSS's news distribution list for individuals.
