SATELLITE BROADCAST WILL SPOTLIGHT OPTIONS AVAILABLE DURING FEGLI OPEN SEASON

Washington, D.C. Federal employees have a rare opportunity during May and June to make changes in their Federal Employees Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) coverage. Those considering making changes will benefit from the next Federal Human Resources Forum Satellite Broadcast.

Experts from the Office of Personnel Management will discuss the benefits of FEGLI, how much life insurance one needs, how to enroll in FEGLI, and important coverage changes due to a October 1998 change in the law.

The satellite broadcast is the latest in a quarterly series produced by the Interagency Advisory Group of Personnel Directors. It will air Wednesday, May 12, 1999, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. EDT. The broadcast can be downlinked using the following coordinates:

C-Band: GE-2, Transponder 18, Orbital Slot: 85 degrees west

  or
Ku-Band: Telestar 5, Transponder 11, Orbital Slot: 97 degrees west
Downlink Frequency: 11898.0 MHZ, Polarity: Vertical

Members of the media who wish to attend the studio broadcast in-person should notify Mary Ann Maloney at 202-606-2402. Federal employees who wish to view the broadcast should contact their human resource office to see where the broadcast will be downlinked.
