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 & Employee Benefits Unit (REBU) in Bldg 31/Rm 1B37. The REBU 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.
