Financial Solutions for Federal Employees
Federal Employees Group Life Insurance (FEGLI)
FEGLI is a term life insurance program, meaning that it provides a defined benefit if the policyholder dies during the period of time (term) specified in the policy. As a federal employee, you’re typically covered by basic life insurance through FEGLI, and premiums are deducted from your paycheck unless you waive the coverage. Unlike permanent insurance such as whole-life policies, FEGLI does not build up any cash value or paid-up value. You may choose from three optional types of coverage (Standard, Additional and Family) to supplement your basic coverage.
Essential questions to consider regarding life insurance include:
- Is FEGLI alone adequate to meet all of my life insurance needs …or should I consider supplementing it with commercial insurance?
- What FEGLI options meet my insurance needs and budget?
- What happens to my FEGLI when I separate from government service or retire?
- How does FEGLI or other life insurance fit into my financial plan?
