Claims for Death or Disability. In the event of death of an IPSA holder, the UNDP Office must promptly notify the insurance company. Information surrounding the death, contractual status and other documentation must be provided by the UNDP Office as requested by the insurance company. In the event of a service incurred disability which prevents the IPSA holder from continuing to perform according to their agreement, a claim can be submitted under the “Group Service-Incurred Death and Disability Insurance Plan” for compensation through Cigna, or under the local scheme established by the UNDP Office. Each UNDP Office must ensure it has a copy of the policy on file since the claim procedure is set forth therein. The current certification required by Cigna for settlement of death, service-incurred injury or disability claims is: A report from the UN examining physician; Evidence of valid IPSA at the time of death or disability; and An indication that the premiums have been paid throughout the agreement. The UNDP administering unit (GSSU) must have on file the original entry medical certification of the IPSA holder. Malicious Acts Insurance Policy (MAIP) IPSA holders who serve at, or travel at UNDP ’s expense to, a designated hazardous duty station are automatically covered by the Malicious Acts Insurance Policy (MAIP) and must therefore be included under the safety and security measures implemented by the UNDP Country Office under the Security Plan. Failure to comply with security instructions may render the insurance coverage null and void in so far as it relates to the IPSA holder in question. Furthermore, non-compliance with security instructions is grounds for termination of the IPSA for cause. The UNDP Office must therefore ensure that the information on MAIP and the relevant security instructions are available to IPSA holders. All claims, together with supporting documentation, must be submitted by the IPSA holder to the local Human Resources Administrator, who is responsible for reviewing such claims and forwarding them to the HR Advisor at Headquarters serving the duty station in question. Mandatory partially subsidized (lump sum) coverage not commutable to cash The following partially-subsidized coverage is provided by UNDP in form of a lump sum, and is mandatory for the IPSA to ensure coverage, to cover possible risks against the individual or the organization. These benefits are mandatory and applicable as stated below.
