FAQ: Life

Q: I am already enrolled in Basic and Options A and B under FEGLI. Can I elect Option C now?

Yes. Legally married same-sex spouses and children of legal same-sex marriages are now eligible family members, so you may add coverage for them under Option C. The Option C coverage can only be elected during an Open Season or if you have a Qualifying Life Event.
