U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

Upon your death, your family members covered under Option C are eligible to convert their coverage to an individual policy. The conversion policies do not include "family" policies similar to the FEGLI Program's Option C. The individual policy is issued to the eligible family member. In the case of a minor child, the parent can apply on the child's behalf for an individual policy.

Your employing office must send your family member(s) a Notice of Conversion Privilege (SF 2819) to your last address on file.  The employing office doesn't have to try to locate family members who might not have lived with you at the time of your death.
