FEGLI
& Related Posts
Federal Employee Group Life Insurance
FEGLI is the group life insurance policy offered to Federal Employees. Everyone is eligible for coverage immediately upon their hire date without any medical questionnaire or examinations. Other than the hire date, you are also eligible to pick up additional coverage within 60 days of a major life event such as:
- Marriage
- Divorce
- Death of Spouse
- New child
The program has open enrollment dates where anyone can increase their coverage. However, they are extremely rare events. If you are interested in adding FEGLI besides these events, you can still do so if you are willing to prove your insurability by submitting a physical with the Request for Insurance Form (SF 2822). The requirement is that you have not reduced your FEGLI coverage in over a year. You can reduce or drop FEGLI coverage at any time.
Types of Coverage Options
FEGLI has four different parts. You have to elect the basic coverage before you can select the additional A, B or C Options. Learn more about the options on Maximizing Federal Employee Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Benefits
Costs of FEGLI
Cost of FEGLI will increase over time. Because it is based on your income, as the income grows, your coverage and cost will grow. Also, depending on the options you select, the cost are associated with an age band. This means that certain option’s price will jump significantly as you get older. You can learn more about this on Comparing Federal Employee Group Life Insurance (FEGLI Option B) with Term Life Insurance: Which is Right for You?
Retirement Options
You are eligible to maintain your FEGLI coverage if you have been in the program for over 5 years prior to your retirement. Keep in mind that some of the cost continue to increase because of the age band. Learn more about it on FEGLI ABC – Federal Employee Group Life Insurance Options in Retirement
