FEGLI – Option C

~~FEGLI – OPTION C

FEGLIWe are just about done.  We have discussed the terms of Basic Life Insurance, Option A-Standard Insurance and Option B- Additional Insurance.  Let’s continue with the discussion – FEGLI Option C –Family Insurance.
Many of the same provisions in Option B are also applicable in FEGLI Option C.  For example, individuals 65 years of age or older at retirement will be contacted by OPM very soon after retirement

.  Individuals who retired before reaching age 65 will be contacted by OPM a short time before they reach age 65 to discuss elections.
Individuals with Option C – Family coverage can choose either Full Reduction or No Reduction for each separate multiple.  The decision might be to choose No Reduction for some multiples and choose Full Reduction for the remaining multiples.
If you choose Full Reduction and you retired before April 24, 1999, two months after you reach age 65 or your retirement date which ever comes later, on the first day of the second month; Option C will decrease by 2 percent of the original face value every month for 50 months.  After that time, coverage will cease.  Premiums will be withheld from your annuity until the month in which you reach age 65.
If you elect to keep some or all multiples under No Reduction, adjustments to your premium will be made to reflect the election made.
It is always a good idea to check and double check your choices to make certain you are satisfied with the options you have chosen.
P. S.  Always Remember to Share What You Know.
