Enrollment period opens June 15 for voluntary member-paid insurance options developed specifically for AMO members and applicants
Beginning on June 15, American Maritime Officers members and applicants will have access to enrollment for a customized package of self-paid optional and voluntary AFLAC insurance policies at a group rate, developed at the request of AMO specifically for the benefit of union's membership.
The 2022 open enrollment for voluntary member-paid insurance coverage will run for one month from June 15 to July 15. AMO members and applicants will begin receiving text message updates as well as from an address ending in "myenrollify.com" before and during this enrollment period. Below are instructions for those wishing to participate in open enrollment.
Customized voluntary insurance options will include: Critical Illness Insurance, Accident Coverage Insurance, and Guaranteed Group Life Insurance.
This customized self-paid group insurance with AFLAC is not a benefit provided through AMO Plans. However, it would not otherwise be commercially available to AMO members seeking similar coverage on an individual basis. As noted, participation is optional for any AMO member or applicant and the union itself has no direct involvement in and receives no financial return from membership participation in these self-paid policies.
AMO members and applicants who may be interested will also be eligible to purchase an individual disability policy and life insurance from well-known carriers that have vast experience working with professional mariners.
AMO has negotiated an extended enrollment period for members and applicants who are working aboard vessels during the one-month enrollment period.
Benefit counselors from AFLAC will be available to assist AMO members and applicants with navigating their options and making choices appropriate for their circumstances. Following are three options for connecting with a benefit counselor to review your options and complete open enrollment.
