FEGLI What is FEGLI? The Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Program was established by the Federal Government on August 29, The FEGLI Program protects over 4 million Federal employees and retirees as well as many of their family members. The opportunity. As part of the current Federal Employee benefits program, Federal Employees are offered group term life insurance under a program called, for short, FEGLI.

FEGLI Most Federal Employees are eligible for FEGLI coverage. FEGLI provides group term life insurance. As such, it does not build up any cash value or paid-up value. It consists of Basic life insurance coverage and three options. In most cases, a new Federal Employee is automatically covered by Basic life insurance and their Pay Center deducts premiums from their paycheck unless they waive the coverage. In addition to the Basic life insurance coverage, there are three forms of optional insurance to choose from, however, the employee must have Basic insurance in order to select any of the options. Enrollment in optional coverage is not automatic -- they must take action to elect the options. Please see Federal Employees Almanac for updates and further information. Determining what benefits are available to your clients that are Federal Employees can be daunting. The OPM – Office of Personal Management (government agency in charge of federal employee benefits) and the Federal Employees Almanac may provide further information on how benefits work. Federal Employees in a Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program (FEGLI) eligible position, are automatically enrolled in Basic Life Insurance, which is effective on the first day they enter in a pay and duty status. Federal Employees do not get any optional insurance automatically - they must elect it. They have 31 days from their entry date to sign up for any optional life insurance. If they do not make an election, you are considered to have waived optional insurance. No proof of insurability is required for the Basic insurance, or any of the optional insurance they sign-up for during the first 31 days. Proof of insurability might be required for insurance changes after that time. US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

FEGLI A Federal Employees Basic Insurance Amount (BIA) is equal to the greater of (a) their annual basic pay rounded up to the next $1,000 plus $2,000, or (b) $10,000.* As part of the Basic life insurance, Federal Employees who are under age 45 get an Extra Benefit at no additional cost. The Extra Benefit doubles the amount of the life insurance payable if they are age 35 or younger. Beginning on their 36th birthday, the Extra Benefit decreases 10% each year until, at age 45, there is no Extra Benefit. *subject to capped salary amounts What amount of life insurance is available under FEGLI? US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

7 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI If a Federal Employee has Basic insurance, they have a choice of three types of Optional insurance*: Option A (standard optional insurance) = $10,000 Option B (additional optional insurance) = equal to one, two, three, four or five times their annual basic pay (after rounding up to the next $1,000). Option C (family optional insurance) = coverage for the Federal Employees spouse and eligible children. Federal Employees may elect one, two, three, four or five multiples of coverage. Each multiple is equal to $5,000 ($25,000 maximum) for their spouse and $2,500 ($12,500 maximum) for each of their eligible dependent children. *Newly hired employees have 60 days from their entry date to sign up for any optional life insurance. What amount of life insurance is available under FEGLI? Dependent children must be unmarried and under age 22, or if  22 or older, incapable of self-support. Dependent children include your children, adopted children, stepchildren and foster children (if they are living with you in a regular parent-child relationship), and recognized natural children. Stillborn children are not covered, and grandchildren are only covered if they qualify as foster children The cost of Option C - Family insurance depends on the Federal Employee’s age. They are considered to attain a particular age group on January 1 of the year following the one in which their corresponding birthday occurs. The premiums increase depending on their age group.

FEGLI The cost of basic coverage is split between the employee and the Government. The employee will pay two-thirds (2/3) of the total cost and the Government pays one-third (1/3). Age and gender do not affect the cost of Basic insurance. Employees pay the full cost of any optional insurance, and the cost will vary based upon their age and the amount of coverage.

FEGLI The amount of Basic life insurance coverage under FEGLI begins decreasing at age 65 or retirement, whichever is later, at the rate of 2% per month until 25% of the Basic coverage remains. At this time, premium payments cease.  Retirees do have options available that can provide more coverage being available after the age of 65 at a cost. These elections are made at retirement.  75% Reduction - Coverage is reduced by 2 percent a month beginning at age 65, with an ultimate reduction to 25 percent of the basic policy value. Retiree must pay the same premium as active employees until age 65 ($.325 per month per $1,000 coverage). No further premiums will be withheld after the calendar month in which the retiree becomes 65. To be able to carry any of the Federal Employee's Group Life Insurance into retirement, employees must start coverage at the first opportunity to enroll at retirement, or be enrolled for five years. Most retiring employees meet this requirement, but some do not. US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

10 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI   50% Reduction - Amount of insurance reduces at the rate of 1 % per month after the later of age 65 or retirement age to a minimum of 50% of your basic insurance amount at retirement. There is a higher premium charged for this lesser reduction ($.965 per month per $1,000 of coverage until age 65 and $.64 a month per $1,000 of coverage thereafter). No Reduction - 100% of your Basic coverage is retained after age 65. This choice resulted in a larger premium being charged. $2.265 per month per $1,000 for coverage until age 65 and $1.94 per month per $1,000 of coverage thereafter (no cost for Postal employees). The cost of the FEGLI term insurance can get very expensive under these two options. US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

FEGLI Employees can keep their Basic life insurance (automatically) in retirement if all of the following conditions are met: They had coverage when they retired; They have not converted coverage to an individual policy; Their annuity begins within 30 days, (However if they are retiring under the Minimum Retirement Age (MRA) plus 10 provision of the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) and they have postponed the commencing date of their annuity, health and life insurance coverage is suspended until their annuity begins) and, They were insured for life insurance for the five years immediately preceding retirement or the full periods of service when coverage was available. It is advisable the Federal Employees start planning for retirement far before their expected retirement date. There are guides on the OPM website. Federal Employees will not have Accidental Death and Dismemberment coverage in retirement. US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

12 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI Employees can keep their Optional life insurance in retirement if all of the following conditions are met: They are eligible to continue their Basic life insurance coverage; and, They were covered by optional life insurance for the five years immediately preceding retirement or the full periods of service when coverage was available, if less than five years Optional insurance in retirement depends on the options they had at the time they separated as an employee. This amount continues until they reach age 65, unless they elect No Reduction (for Option B and Option C only.) If a Federal Employee is eligible to continue Option A into retirement, it will reduce by 2% of the pre-retirement amount each month until it reaches 25% of the pre-retirement amount. The reduction starts at the beginning of the second month after their 65th birthday or at retirement, whichever is later. Under Option A, there is no further premium once it starts to reduce. Employees cannot choose No Reduction for Option A. US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

FEGLI To help a Federal Employee determine what his or her current life insurance coverage is: An online FEGLI benefits calculator is at Active employees unsure of how much coverage they have should contact their personnel offices. They also may check their most recent Standard Form 50, Notification of Personnel Action, block 27, which shows a code that can be looked up at Retirees should call (888) or To help you figure out what the Federal Employee has for current coverage: US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

FEGLI But for those who need life insurance coverage that will last their life time or into their retirement? What about Federal Employees whose families need more life insurance then offered through FEGLI? Or what about those Federal Employees that don’t qualify to carry life insurance into retirement? Or what if the cost of carrying FEGLI group term insurance into retirement becomes cost prohibitive? The FEGLI group term insurance may meet the needs of federal employees. But for those who need life insurance coverage that will last their life time or into their retirement, maybe permanent insurance or a combination or term and permanent life insurance would better meet those client’s life insurance needs? Maybe a fully underwritten life insurance certificate for a Federal employee in good health could replace FEGLI coverage and save your client money? Voluntary allotment of federal benefits may provide a solution. US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

38 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI Federal Employees and Foresters     Step 4   You determine the life insurance contract issue date based on the confirmed payroll deduction start date from the applicant’s Pay Center and the current Allotment Cutoff Calendar (made available by the FEB service provider on their website) and write “Proposed Issue Date of {insert date}” in the top section of the Foresters life insurance application.  The preferred issue date must align with the last “run date” of the calendar month after 3 bi-weekly payroll deductions have occurred. Step 5 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

39 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI Federal Employees and Foresters     Step 4     You will need to review the individual FEB service provider pay run schedule to set the Foresters issue date. You must use the confirmed payroll deduction start date and count three (3) bi-weekly payroll deductions and then select the next monthly extract date as the issue date. FEB service providers do not send the first month premium to Foresters until they have received three (3) payroll deductions (takes approximately six weeks) from the Applicant’s personnel service center. If you do not select an appropriate issue date, Foresters will set a pre-determined date.    Step 5 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

FEGLI Step 5 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

42 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI Federal Employees and Foresters     Step 4   An example, suppose on January 1, 2013 an application for Foresters life insurance is written.  The first bi-weekly payroll for the pay center is January 4, 2013 and the first deduction will occur by this date.  The issue date will then be set as follows: Requires 3 bi-weekly payroll deductions before Tower will send the monthly payment to Foresters.  Three monthly deductions would be: January 4, January 16, February 1st.  Tower’s next run date (after February 1st) is February 7th, hence the application should be future dated no earliest than February 7th Note: Foresters issue dates can only be between 1-28th of the month. NOTE: a Foresters life insurance certificate issue date can be between the 1st to 28th of the month (cannot select 29th, 30th or 31st).   If you calculate an issue date to be between the 29th and 31st of the month, the issue date should be set to the first of the following month, to ensure Foresters receives the payment on or before the actual issue date. US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

43 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI Federal Employees and Foresters   Step 5  Agent and Applicant complete Payroll Authorization Form.

Once completed, the Payroll Authorization Form is sent directly to the FEB service provider. Step 6 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

44 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI Federal Employees and Foresters   Step 5   Tower’s Payroll Authorization Form can be found in the agent’s folder on the Tower file server. It is called POST/FED B-4 Allotment Authorization. Tower must receive the Post/FED B-4 Allotment Authorization form to be able to send premium to be applied to your client’s Foresters life insurance contract. Step 6 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

FEGLI Step 6 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

46 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI Federal Employees and Foresters   Step 5   You and the Applicant must determine the premium deduction with the Applicant’s Pay Center (confirm the Applicant’s Pay Center with Applicant’s federal employing agency).  To determine the amount, multiply the monthly premium by 12 and divide the result by 26. Round up when necessary. Foresters Mobile App allows you to choose “allotment” which will calculate for you, bi-weekly premiums to help you complete the Payroll Authorization form NOTE: You still enter the MONTHLY premium on the Foresters application Step 6 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only

47 408934 US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
FEGLI Step 6  Monthly/Annual are always quoted.  There is an option of having “allotment” selected which would make this into a bi-weekly quote (on-line only).  Any reports would generate the monthly and annualized amount (12 x monthly). US (05/13) For Producer Use Only
