Policy Statement - Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) is optional for those staff enrolled in the Federal Retirement Plan(s), and has the purpose of providing immediate protection against financial hardship or loss in the event of death.

Coverage - Basic life coverage is available as well as three additional options. Basic coverage is paid by both the employee and the federal government and is mandatory unless waived in the 1st pay period of employment. The employee pays the full group rate for the other three options: Option A - Standard, Option B - Additonal, and Option C - Family.

Coverage Options - Coverage options should be reviewed with the local plan administrator. To acquire or cancel coverage, or to check premium rates, contact the association’s designated benefits coordinator.
