Benefits Spotlight: Southern Insurance Group It's no secret that your Federal Employee Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) costs increase as you age, but did you know that there are alternatives to FEGLI that are much more affordable? Regardless of age, you owe it to yourself to shop competitively for life insurance. Often times there are better options than FEGLI. To better understand your life insurance benefits and to discuss alternatives to FEGLI contact the Southern Insurance Group at 800 - 46 7 - 8571. Cambridge Corner: 2016 FEGLI Open Season The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will hold the 2016 FEGLI open seaso n from Sept. 1, 2016 through Sept. 30, 2016. During this time, federal employees who are eligible can elect or increase their FEGLI life insurance by submitting an election to their human resources office. Eligible employees may elect changes by electroni c means where this option is available through their employing agency. OPM noted that subject to FEGLI law and regulation, including applicable pay and duty status requirements, the effective date for changes to FEGLI coverage under an open season election will be delayed one full year to the beginning of the first full pay period on or after Oct. 1, 2017. Outside of an open season, eligible employees can enroll or increase their coverage by taking a physical exam or with a Qualifying Life Event (retirees c an never increase their FEGLI coverage, even during a FEGLI open season). FEGLI life events are marriage, divorce, death of spouse, or acquisition of an eligible child. With a life event, employees can enroll or increase coverage in Basic, Option A, up to five multiples of Option B, and/or up to five multiples of Option C. Employees must submit form SF 2817 to the human resources office within 60 days after the life event. OPM reminds participants that federal employees and federal retirees can reduce or cancel FEGLI at any time. Enrollees who are satisfied with their current FEGLI coverage do not need to make any elections during the 2016 FEGLI open season.
