A new member who selects a No. 7 Schedule 2 policy can expect coverage on a 60 day claim that occurred in March of his 1st year and also expect coverage for another 60 day claim in October of that same year. This is because the No. 7 Schedule 2 policy has a key selling feature of reverting back to face value upon reinstatement.

Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

- A.
Medical leave.
- B.
Suspension due to discipline.
- C.
Military leave.
- D.
Furlough.
- E.
Taking an exempt position.
Correct Answer
B. Suspension due to discipline.Explanation
The reason "Suspension due to discipline" is not a valid reason to inactivate a policy because disciplinary actions should not affect the status of a policy. Policies are typically inactivated for reasons such as medical leave, military leave, furlough, or when an individual takes an exempt position. However, disciplinary actions should be dealt with separately and should not impact the status of a policy.Rate this question:

If a member with a Premier 120 policy serves 30 days of a 60-day suspension in December and the remaining 30 days in January, how many covered days will the member have left for that year?
- A.
120.
- B.
90.
- C.
60.
Correct Answer
B. 90.Explanation
If a member with a Premier 120 policy serves 30 days of a 60-day suspension in December and the remaining 30 days in January, they will have a total of 60 days of suspension. Since the policy provides coverage for 120 days, subtracting the 60 days of suspension from the total coverage days gives us 60 days left for that year. Therefore, the member will have 90 covered days left.Rate this question:
