Stop-loss policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first legal challenge to the policy came in October 2004, with a lawsuit challenged by an unnamed National Guardsman in California, referred to as "John Doe." A basis for the suit is that stop-loss does not apply to the current situtation in Iraq, which is a military occupation and not a war zone. Stop loss originated during the first Gulf War; the current policy was enacted in 2001 primarily to fight the War on Terrorism declared by George W. Bush (For the US Navy, it was imposed on October 10, 2001.) The stop-loss policy, in the United States military, is the involuntary retention of troops to remain in service beyond their contractually agreed-upon term. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stop-loss   (247 words)

ACFA - Stop-loss Settlement Policy The prepayment policy is structured to protect the Authority from the significant losses that would occur in accepting prepayments of high interest rate loans and relending these funds at lower rates. In December 1993, the policy was changed to reduce the cumulative prepayment allowed under the penalty provision from 20% to 7½% of loans outstanding at the prior year-end. The prepayment policy is an integral part of our long-term financial planning and has been subject to review and revision since the Authority made its first interest reduction in 1987 to its last $75 million interest rebate. www.acfa.gov.ab.ca /stoploss.html   (730 words)

ipedia.com: Self insurance Article This stop loss policy does not pay until the high deductible is satisfied which is relatively rare, so the stop loss coverage is relatively inexpensive. Usually a portion of the risk is retained and self insured, and a stop loss or stop gap policy is purchased with very high limits, and very high deductibles. The idea of self insurance is that by retaining, calculating risks, and paying the resulting claims or losses, the overall process is cheaper than could be done by paying an insurance company to do it, because the company self insuring does not have to pay the profit component to the insurer. www.ipedia.com /self_insurance.html   (501 words)
