This is a great question and one we get quite often. Yes, the renewal form with GeoBlue is related to U.S. federal law and not insurance law. The U.S. government wants to verify that you are still on an international career insurance policy. In order to have applied/been accepted with the GeoBlue career plan you have stated that at least the first year on the policy you are an expat or will be/have been residing outside the U.S. for 3 months or longer. Each year at renewal you will need to verify that you will be residing outside the U.S. at least 3 months per year.
