Guarrenteed Travel Assurance Plan

So many Americans are away from home these days for business, family visits and recreation. Traveling has become second nature to most of us and we tend to forget that when we're away from home... anything can happen. Everyone is increasingly mobile, enjoying more travel for vacation, business, and retirement. 

  • 80% of Americans (over 18) take a trip 100 miles or more away from home that lasts at least one night or more a year.
  • Over 50% of international travel is performed by senior citizens.

Also, Americans find themselves away from home more often than ever before because:

  • Grandchildren and other family members are more spread out than ever before;
  • Employees are retiring early and are on the road, enjoying new experiences away from home; and,
  • People with medical conditions are seeking treatment in distant medical centers.

Access to bereavement counseling when traveling 100 miles or more away from legal residence

*Legal residence is defined as the place of residence of 180 or more days in the twelve months preceding the date of death. It will require verification through voter registration, driver's registration, and/or other means. A nursing home will be deemed the residence if the stay there has exceeded 180 days.

If Member enrollment of GTAP occurs while 100 miles away from the legal residence, return of remains benefit becomes effective upon the Member's return to the legal residence for subsequent travel.
