Reminder about FEGLI Insurance

Before we get to the reminder--thought I would share this photo. They tell me these are called banded doves. They have been living around our place for a couple of years. I have tried off and on to get a photo of them both together--and was finally successful.

As for the FEGLI update--if you kept some of the Federal life insurance when you retired, you may remember that premiums are no longer deducted after age 65. Unless you chose the no reduction option, the amount of insurance will begin to decrease until it gets to 25% or 50% of the original value--depending on which choice you made. When there is no premium being paid, it is easy to forget that you have the insurance. So make a note in the appropriate file.

If you want to check on specific benefits you have, call the Retirement Information Office at 1-888-767-6738 or write to the Retirement Operations Center, P. O. Box 45, Boyers, Pennsylvania 16017-0045.
