Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program (FEGLI)
As a Federal employee, you are eligible to have FEGLI coverage, unless your position is excluded by law or regulation. Your Federal agency applies these rules and determines your eligibility. However, there are numerous special provisions for people in part-time or intermittent employment, temporary appointments, and specifically named positions.
For Federal employees, the chapter titled "Eligibility" in the FEGLI Handbook explains these and other eligibility provisions.
Eligible employees enroll through their servicing human resources office. They can enroll by completing SF 2817 "Life Insurance Election" (some agencies have electronic enrollment). For information on obtaining the SF 2817 or on how to enroll in the FEGLI Program as a Federal employee, visit the enrollment page.
General FEGLI information including Frequently Asked Questions and the FEGLI Calculator can be found on the FEGLI website.
For additional assistance, Federal employees should contact their agency's human resources office.
