Premium Contributions
The United Nations Staff Mutual Insurance Society against Sickness and Accident is a medical insurance fund that is subsidized by the participating Organizations. Contributions for Active Staff are subsidized by 50% by the Organization, increasing to two thirds in respect of Retired Staff.
The Premiums are payable for the full month for each month of the calendar year. Hence if an individual becomes affiliated on the 10th day of any given month for example, the premium for the month will be paid in full, with no pro-rata calculation.
