THE Services Security Plan (SSP) has been reviewed and improved in response to feedback from ADF members.
The American Home Assurance Group, known as AIG, has provided injury and accident insurance for the ADF since 1996.
At the launch of the new plan, CA Lt-Gen Peter Leahy spoke about the importance of products such as the SSP that had been tailored to meet the requirements of ADF personnel, their families and other members of the Defence community.
He said the type of product was not available off-the-shelf from any other insurance provider in Australia. It provided greater coverage for its client base, including an optional accidental death benefit.
The SSP has three levels of cover – budget, premier and superior. A maximum of three units of cover may be purchased, having the effect of multiplying the amount of insurance cover detailed in the AIG schedule of events. An optional accidental death benefit can be purchased in addition to the standard package.
