Quick Tip for Federal Employees

FEGLI Basic coverage equals your annual salary rounded up to the next $1,000, plus $2,000. Option B allows up to 5x your salary but premiums increase significantly with age. Many federal employees find private coverage more cost-effective than FEGLI Option B after age 50.
