CAMBRIDGE CORNER: 2016 FEGLI Open Season
OPM will hold the 2016 FEGLI open season from September 1, 2016 through
September 30, 2016. During this time, federal employees who are eligible can elect or
incre ase their FEGLI life insurance by submitting an election to their human resources
office. Eligible employees may elect changes by electronic means where this option is
available through their employing agency.
OPM noted that subject to FEGLI law and regula tion, 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 ful l 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 can never
increase their FEGLI coverage, ev en during a FEGLI open season). FEGLI life events
are marriage, divorce, de ath of spouse, or acq uisition 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 reminded participants that federal employees and federal retirees can
re duc e 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.
