Claim for Death Benets
Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance Program
Understanding Your Life Insurance Payment Options
If your claim is for less than $5,000, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MetLife) will mail you a check.
If your claim is for $5,000 or more, you have an important choice to make regarding how you wish to receive
the payment. On Page 3, you must select one of two ways to receive your payment:
• Check (mailed to you through the U.S. Postal Service)
• MetLife Total Control Account (TCA) - an interest bearing account set up in your name and
administered by MetLife.
The MetLife TCA is a settlement option offered by MetLife for the payment of claims. A MetLife TCA is
not a checking, savings, or money market bank account. Since your MetLife TCA is not a bank account,
it is not insured by the FDIC or any government agency. Instead, MetLife guarantees the full amount in
your MetLife TCA, including all interest earned. MetLife’s guarantee is further backed by your respective
state insurance guaranty association. Maximum guarantee limits vary from state to state and may change
over time. If you choose a MetLife TCA, the relationship is between you and MetLife, not with the federal
government or any of its agencies.
The MetLife TCA offers you a minimum guaranteed annual effective interest rate, meaning that MetLife
commits to pay you at least that specied rate of interest on the money in the account. You begin earning
interest the day the MetLife TCA is created. Interest is earned daily, but is not credited until the last day of
the month. The interest rate offered on the MetLife TCA may be better or worse than the prevailing market
rates. The MetLife TCA is a product offered by MetLife on which the company may make a prot. You pay
no monthly maintenance fees on a MetLife TCA.
You have complete control of, and access to, the entire amount of your insurance proceeds. You can
withdraw the full amount from the MetLife TCA at any time. The information packet you receive will
include a draft book (similar to a checkbook). At any time and at no cost, you can write drafts (similar
to checks) from a minimum of $250 up to the full balance of your account. In addition, you will receive
periodic activity statements, and you can designate a beneciary for your account. If you choose the MetLife
TCA settlement option, you will receive more detailed information when the account is opened.

Denition of Terms
Disabled dependent child age 22 years or over means a child who was incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical
disability that existed before the child became 22 years of age.
Foster child means a child living with you in a regular parent-child relationship where you are the primary source of nancial
support for the child and expect to raise the child to adulthood. A child placed in your home by a welfare or social service agency
under an agreement where the agency retains control of the child or pays for maintenance does not qualify as a foster child.
Grandchildren, as such, are not eligible family members. However, grandchildren can qualify as foster children if they meet all of
the requirements.
Recognized natural child means a child born out of wedlock whom you recognized as your child during the child’s lifetime.
In addition, at the time of the child’s death, he/she must have either lived with you in a regular parent-child relationship or been
dependent on you nancially.
Regular parent-child relationship means that you exercise parental authority, responsibility, and control over the child by caring
for, supporting, disciplining, and guiding the child, including making decisions about the child’s education and health care.
If you have any questions concerning your child’s eligibility for coverage, you must contact your employing agency or retirement
system, and not MetLife/OFEGLI.

Revised February 2011
MetLife OFEGLI Form in Adobe Acrobat PDF (02/11)
MetLife’s TCA (“Total Control Account”) is a settlement option for the payment of claims. The TCA is not a checking, savings
or money market account from a bank. If you receive your life insurance proceeds by TCA, your customer relationship is with
MetLife, not the Federal government or any of its agencies.
The Total Control Account
®
Settlement Option Features
INTEREST
• TCA eams interest from the date it is established. The rate credited to your TCA will never fall below the annual effective
interest rate guaranteed in your Customer Agreement issued to you when proceeds are paid through a TCA, and will equal
or exceed the rate established by one of the following indices: the prior week’s Money Fund Report Averages
TM
/Government
7-Day Simple Yield or the Bank Rate Monitor
TM
National Money Market Rate Index.
• Interest is compounded daily and credited monthly to your TCA. (Generally, the interest you are paid will be subject to income
tax. You should consult your own tax advisor about your particular circumstances.)
METLIFE TCA FINANCIAL SECURlTY
• The assets backing the TCA are maintained in MetLife’s general account and are subject to MetLife’s creditors. MetLife bears
the investment risk of the assets backing the TCA, and expects to receive a prot. Regardless of the investment experience of
such assets, the interest credited to your TCA will never fall below the rate guaranteed in your Customer Agreement. Call
1-800-METSAVE (1-800-638-7283) for your guaranteed annual effective interest rate.
• The TCA is not insured by the FDIC (“Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation”) or any government agency. However, the entire
amount of your TCA, including all interest paid to you, is fully guaranteed by the nancial strength and claims paying ability of
MetLife. MetLife’s guarantee is further backed by your respective state insurance guaranty association. Maximum limits vary
from state to state and may change over time. MetLife’s obligation to pay the total policy proceeds is satised by depositing such
proceeds in your TCA.
IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO FUNDS AND FLEXIBILITY
• You can withdraw all or part of your TCA balance immediately or at any time thereafter, without penalty or loss of interest.
• There are no limits on the number of drafts you can write each month.
• You can name a beneciary to receive your TCA balance, in case something happens to you.
NO MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEES
• There are no monthly maintenance fees for the TCA, and no charges for withdrawals, drafts or reordering drafts.
• You can write drafts from a minimum amount of $250 up to the full amount in your TCA at any time.
• Please note: automatic electronic fund transfers, electronic bill payments, and phone payments are not available from the TCA.
• You may be charged a fee for special services. The current special servicing fees are:
• Draft Copy: $2.00
• Stop Payment: $10.00
• Wire Transfer: $10.00
• Overdrawn TCA: $15.00
These fees may be subject to change in accordance with the terms of the TCA Customer Agreement.
METLIFE TCA FEATURES AND RELATED SERVICES
• When a claim is paid through a TCA, you’ll receive a TCA Starter Kit with information about TCA, a draftbook, and a Customer
Agreement specifying your guaranteed annual effective interest rate.
• MetLife sends each account holder a quarterly statement regarding account balances and activity. Statements are also sent
monthly if there has been withdrawal activity in the account.
• Dedicated customer service representatives are within easy reach to answer any questions you may have about your TCA. You
will be provided with a toll-free customer service number with your starter kit materials.
TIME TO DECIDE
• TCA provides you with interest on your funds while you take the time to decide how to best use your proceeds.
• Your rights to elect other MetLife settlement options are preserved. You may, at any time, place some or all of your TCA balance
in any other available option.
You will receive information on settlement options which are available to you along with your TCA Starter Kit.
If the proceeds payable to you are less than $5,000, or you reside in a foreign country, or the claimant is a corporation
or similar entity, payment is usually made by a single, lump-sum check. Proceeds payable to minors will either be paid to the
appropriate guardian or held by MetLife until age of majority.
