French term or phrase: application
French into English in the sense of applicability (?) (who is covered by a policy).
Seems like the word is used in French as it would be in English. Or is there another word in English???

shall be applicable to
Explanation:
Application would almost definitely be completely wrong, but I would have to see the sentence.

If you post it, I will have another look.

application

Explanation:
It is directly translatable as application if the text relates to insurance, as I think it does.

Hope it helps!
