Practical help, coordination and support for members facing a serious or unexpected emergency far from home.
Accidents, sudden crises and other serious emergencies are harder to handle in a country that isn’t home. The Fund helps members get the assistance they need, and coordinates it so they aren’t dealing with it alone.
When members are sick or injured far from home, the Fund helps them find care, understand their options and coordinate treatment in a health system they may not know.
If a member is stranded, needs to get home after an emergency, or needs to leave somewhere unsafe, the Fund helps arrange and coordinate the journey.
When a crisis hits a member’s family, whether they live with the member or back home, the Fund offers support and helps work out the next steps.
After floods, fires and other disasters, the Fund helps affected members with relief where it can.
The Fund plans to add other protection programs where available. Each one will have its own eligibility rules, and members will be told what it covers before it starts.
If you’re a member and something has happened, tell us where you are and what’s going on. Your request is kept private.
