G.4.2. Frequency of Payments. All funds under this contract will be obligated by issuance of task orders, as described in H.3. Each task order will fund a specific period of time and number of employees, and the task orders will be issued at the frequency described in H.3. Contractor may submit invoices monthly for payment to be made at the beginning of the month for which insurance coverage is provided in accordance with

FAR 32.404.

G.4.3. U.S. Government Employees. The Government shall make payments directly to the contractor for all Government employees, whether or not the employee is contributing to the premium amount.

When contacted by the employer, the contractor shall advise the employer of the paperwork and payment that will be necessary to order coverage for the identified individuals. Because more than one employer may have ORE staff, the contractor may be contacted by more than one employer (typically the Chief of Mission and Deputy Chief of

Mission).
