🌍 Deploying overseas soon? Are you ready?
Here is your 9-point game plan for peace of mind before you go:
🛡️ 1. Insurance: Are you covered while deployed? Verify before you leave.
🤝 2. Power of Attorney: Designate a trusted person and give them the power to manage your affairs while you're away.
⚖️ 3. The Will: An up-to-date will is good. The military will is the bare minimum, but better options exist.
💳 4. Credit Cards: About to expire? Protected by a PIN?
📈 5. Maximize Extra Income: Did you know? You don't pay tax on income earned on active service. Make your money work for you while you're gone.
🔄 6. Automated Payments: Are automatic transfers set up for all your recurring bills?
📱 7. Communications: Have you agreed on how often to touch base and which secure platforms to use?
📁 8. Deployment File: Make sure a copy of your important documents is gathered and handed over to your designated representative.
💪 9. There for you, even from afar: The Caisse's specialized team is part of your rearguard. Take advantage of it!
