Continuation Option
LIPP Members must be offered the continuation option if they leave the Lutheran System.
Please notify Neale Forbes at the time of the members resignation, so that we are able to offer them the continuation option. Note: Members
must apply for this Option within 60 days of their resignation/termination. Neale is the only one legally authorised to follow up and give advice to LIPP members on this issue.
NB: If LIPP members are transferring to another Lutheran Employer, their existing cover will transfer, and the ‘continuation option’ will not be relevant. Likewise, if they have moved overseas, are on LIPP claim, are over 60 years old or retiring the option will not apply.
