The Fasa Fund, a Supplementary Health Assistance Fund for workers in the food industry, has announced that it is now accepting enrollments for family members. This registration provides a dedicated health coverage, which is different from the coverage of the worker who is a member of the Fund, as specified by the Family Nomenclature of Employees. This enrollment can take place during a time period called the “Family Enrollment Campaign.”
Family members who can benefit from the enrollment include: the spouse, even if they live at a different address than the enrolled member and are not financially dependent on them; a cohabiting partner, as long as they reside at the same address as the member, even if they are not financially dependent on them; and children, as long as they are financially dependent on the member for at least 50%, even if they live elsewhere.
The Fund specifies that other individuals, such as financially independent children, parents, grandchildren, siblings, and uncles, etc., can not be included in the coverage, even if they live with the enrolled member. If there are two spouses or cohabiting partners, both employees of companies enrolled in the Fund, they will be enrolled as members and can not be included as beneficiaries of each other in any manner. Financially dependent children, however, can be beneficiaries of both parents’ coverage, provided both parents make the payments.
The enrollment campaign will end on February 14, 2025.
