Foreign Liability Coverage

Foreign Liability coverage provides for bodily injury and property damage arising from foreign operations in which the state is liable. Further, it provides voluntary Employer Benefits Liability, Accidental Death and Dismemberment and Medical Expense coverage. This policy does not include coverage for trip cancellation, lost luggage or flight delays.

Policy Territory

The foreign liability policy territory is anywhere in the world except:

  • The United States including its territories or possessions,
  • Puerto Rico,
  • Any country or jurisdiction which is subject to trade or economic sanctions imposed by the laws or regulations of the United States.

The countries or jurisdictions included on the Schedule of Excluded Countries list do not have foreign liability coverage available should any risks, danger or hazard arise during travel to the excluded country including safe transport and medical assistance, should the cause of those risks be due to war declared or undeclared, civil war, warlike action by a military force, insurrection, rebellion, revolution, usurped power, terrorism or threat of terrorism.

For a current list of these countries or jurisdictions, consult the U.S. Department of the Treasury (OFAC) website.  Boise State University has created a consolidated list of the Schedule of Excluded Countries that is valid for the school’s fiscal year 2024-2025.

Should your destination be to a Schedule Excluded Country, State Risk requires that you and your supervisor or department head complete and sign the State of Idaho Foreign Travel Acknowledgement of Risk form and email it to rmi@boisestate.edu.
