S. RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEPENDENTS
None of the agencies, organizations, or persons cooperating in providing your grant can assume any responsibility for the
travel, insurance, and/or financial support of any dependents. However, you may request J-2 visa support from VEF for your
dependents to join you in the United States. VEF recommends that your spouse have a basic English language skill level,
demonstrated with a score equivalent to at least 450 on the paper-based TOEFL exam.
By U.S. law, you are required to provide adequate health and accident insurance for any dependents that accompany you.
Failure to do so violates the terms and conditions of the J-2 visa and this Visiting Scholar Grant award and may result in
termination of your Visiting Scholar Grant. At a minimum, the dependent insurance must provide the following benefits: (1)
medical coverage of at least $50,000 per person per accident or illness; (2) repatriation of remains in the amount of $7,500;
and (3) medical evacuation benefits of at least $10,000. In addition, a qualified insurance program shall not have a deductible
that exceeds $500 per accident or illness; and it must meet other technical standards as specified in the Exchange Visitor
Program regulations. More details about J-2 visas are available at the VEF website. You must submit to VEF the application
for J-2 visa support via the OMS.
