General Insurance: A general insurance including automobile, homeowners, and travel, that provides payment to a Household Member depending on the loss from a particular financial event.

A Household Member may have his or her own general insurance policy or be covered under someone else's policy. For example, children in a household may be covered by a non-custodial parent's general insurance policy.
