Insurance Company to Refund Soldier

The American Amicable Insurance Company has sent letters to more than 900 Soldiers to inform them they may be eligible for a refund. American Amicable is refunding $1.3 million to Soldiers who purchased insurance policies while in training at Fort Benning in 2002. The company was placed off-limits after its agents gave sales pitches to Soldiers in the Basic Combat Training Brigade and other training units under the guise of teaching financial planning and sold insurance policies as investment or retirement programs. To get the refund, Soldiers must submit the affidavit from American Amicable within 180 days of being notified. Deployed Soldiers have 180 days after processing through CONUS.
