You may reduce or cancel your FEGLI coverage at any time by completing the Life Insurance Election Form, SF 2817, and submitting it to the Retirement and Employee Benefits Branch (REBB) in Bldg 31/Rm 1B37. The REBB Office at NIEHS is located in Keystone/Rm 1105.  If you want to reduce life insurance, sign only for your coverage you want to KEEP.   If you want to cancel all life insurance coverage, sign in Box 5.   (Exception:  If you have assigned your life insurance by transferring ownership to another person or to a company, then you cannot cancel or reduce your Basic, Option A, or Option B coverage.)

To enroll or increase your coverage in the FEGLI Program, there must be a FEGLI Open Season which is very rare, or you must experience a Qualifying Life Event, or you may take a physical exam to request coverage if it has been at least 1 year since you waived coverage.
