Regular travel insurance is automatically in force for authorized UA travel. However, international travel on a federal contract (not a grant) triggers a requirement for Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance, which must be arranged in advance of departure. Certain responses to the Travel Description Questionnaire in Terra Dotta will indicate the need for DBA insurance, and trigger a notification to Risk Management Services. A request for additional information required to arrange DBA insurance will be forwarded as soon as possible by Risk Management Services to the traveler’s department. 30 days advance notice is required for issuance of a DBA insurance binder for the traveler. Failure to provide DBA insurance when required for travel is a violation of federal law.
