************************************************************** IFCSS Headquarters News Release No. 5050 Sept 2, 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 Eligibility for IFCSS Medical Insurance ======================================= We are receiving numerous calls from students that are unsure of their eligibility for the IFCSS plan after applying for a PR. Here is th answer. If you are currently an F1 or J1 visa status and have APPLIED for a PR (green card), you may still enroll in the IFCSS Student Plan or renew your policy currently in force. Even if your PR is granted, your coverage will remain in effect throughout the period of coverage that you purchased prior to being approved for PR. However, once you receive your PR, you may not enroll as a new student and you cannot renew your coverage under the IFCSS student medical insurance policy. Thank you for all your support. Sincerely yours, Lin Changsheng, President of IFCSS Shi Heping, Vice-President of IFCSS ********************************************************************* * PBS-L is IFCSS's news distribution list for individuals.
