send news about health insurance plus NGE.
ask:
-do they need to see my beiträge? match the NGE, not adjusted for extra mentioned in letters because that's what consultant advised.
-i could send all my stuff in as early as next monday. a) is there any reason *not to do that, i.e. could it hurt me? b) if not, can we have a meeting finalizing the documents that i should send them?
-when will my NGE be out of date? (it was twice as expensive as it was in 2017-- i didn't realize the fee would track with my income like the fee for my tax declaration does-- so having to pay for another one would really hurt)
