New Insurance Guidelines Announced for Children of Military Retirees
In a recent directive, the Armed Forces Retirement Organization has announced an update to the insurance coverage regulations for the dependents of military retirees. The new guidelines specify changes to the eligibility criteria for sons and daughters of retired personnel.
Key Changes to Coverage
Effective immediately, automatic insurance coverage will be discontinued for sons over the age of 25. Furthermore, automatic coverage for daughters will cease following their date of marriage. This systemic coverage, which previously continued under a free insurance provision, will no longer be automatically applied.
Required Action for Continued Coverage
The organization has clarified that retirees who wish to maintain insurance coverage for their eligible children under these new circumstances must take proactive steps. To apply for optional, continued free insurance coverage, the head of the household must visit a SATTA office and submit the required documentation before the child’s existing coverage is terminated.
This procedural update emphasizes the need for retirees to personally follow up on their dependents’ insurance status to ensure a seamless transition and avoid any lapse in benefits. The move aims to streamline the administration of benefits provided to the dedicated veterans of Iran’s armed forces and their families.
