Important Details

It is important that you review the insurance summaries provided on this website, so that you will be aware of activities that are covered, as well as those that are expressly excluded from insurance coverage.

Please also be aware that the coverage provided under our group travel accident insurance policies is in effect only during the formally scheduled duration of the mission.

The Jewish Federations of North America recommends that all mission participants review their own personal insurance coverage needs with their insurance advisors to determine if additional travel insurance is required providing for reimbursement for trip delay, missed connections, sickness and accident medical expenses, lost baggage, personal effects, baggage delay, etc.

The summaries of the Travel Insurance programs are provided for information purposes only and are not intended to be comprehensive explanations of the insurance policies, nor statements of contract. Certain important exclusions and limitations are included, but the summaries do not contain all policy terms, conditions, endorsements, exclusions or limitations. In all cases, the actual insurance policies supersede any statements made in the summaries.

Both policies, ACE and KELA, have been renewed.

A wallet I.D. card is now included alongside the ACE description of coverage and summary of benefits schedule.
