Hello, my name is Jack Sparrow. I'm a 50 year old self-employed Pirate from the Caribbean.
Can I still get a medical benefit to Amosup? Even though I don't have yet an assignment letter and I haven't joined any vessel for almost 2 years. However I am already a bonafide member of Amosup for 10 consecutive years. Because I have an medical condition which I needed the assistance of Amosup. Hoping you will response on my message Thank you and God Bless - Reynaldo J. Azucena Jr. / 09995968249
