Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program

FEGLI Handbook

Summary of 2001 Handbook Changes

August 31 —

We revised the Annuitants and Compensationers chapter to reflect the new May 2001 version of the SF 2818. This changes some procedures and makes the Option B and Option C Election Notice obsolete.

We clarified the effective date of Option B obtained with a life event in the Coverage chapter.

May 21 —

We modified the FEGLI Handbook Index to allow you to choose the Web version, PDF version or a Printer Version.

We rearranged the Termination and Conversion chapter. The topics are now in order of Termination, Conversion, then Option B Portability.

We also added an exception statement to the effective date of the cancellation of optional insurance.

May 7 —

We've added a Table of FEGLI Legislation to the Handbook. This table documents the laws and regulations affecting the FEGLI program since the original act in 1954.

Types and Amounts of Insurance

Under "Not Included," we have added that physicians' comparability allowances are not included in annual pay for FEGLI purposes.
