What does Fegli basic coverage?
Basic FEGLI features accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D), which provided double indemnity protection. With one exception, the cost is shared between you and the federal government. Unlike the Federal Employees Health Benefits program, FEGLI does not hold regular open seasons.
How is Fegli calculated?
To figure out your BIA, take your current salary and round it up to the nearest $1,000, then add $2,000 to it. This is your Basic Insurance Amount. FEGLI costs 15¢ per $1,000 of your BIA. So if, for example, you have a $84,500 salary, then you have coverage for $87,000.
Is Fegli tax deductible?
The premiums paid on individual life insurance policies – whether the policy is an individual policy bought by an individual from a private insurance company or a group life insurance policy such as the Federal Employees Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) – are generally not deductible for federal income tax purposes.
How long does it take for Fegli to pay?
within 30 days
