When
should
I
complete
this
form?
You should complete this form if:
you are in a position that makes you eligible for FEGLI
coverage (ask your human resources office if you don't
know), AND
at least one year has passed since the effective date of your
most recent waiver of Basic, Option A and/or Option B life
insurance, AND either:
you are not enrolled in the FEGLI Program, but would
like to be, OR
you are enrolled in the FEGLI Program, but you have
less than the maximum life insurance available and you
want more life insurance.
What is a waiver of life
insurance
coverage?
A waiver means you:
did not elect life insurance coverage when it was available to
you, OR
cancelled coverage you previously had, OR
elected less than the maximum coverage.
Can
I
use results
of a
physical
I
had last year for
another reason?
No. OFEGLI cannot accept a previous physical. Your physician
or other healthcare provider must perform the physical for the
purposes of this request for life insurance. OFEGLI must receive
this form within 60 days of the date of the physical.
What is
Basic insurance?
It is life insurance based on your annual salary, rounded up
to the nearest thousand dollars (if it is not already an even
thousand), plus $2,000. It includes accidental death and
dismemberment coverage (payment of more life insurance if
you die in an accident or lose a limb or eyesight.)
Basic also includes an Extra Benefit if you are under age 45 when
you die. The amount of Basic payable upon your death will be
double the regular amount if you are age 35 or under when you
die. Starting at age 36, the Extra Benefit reduces by 10 percent
per year, until at age 45 there is no Extra Benefit.
What is
Option A?
It is life insurance equal to $10,000. It is also called Standard
Optional insurance. Option A also includes accidental death and
dismemberment coverage.
Ask your human resources office if you don't know the effective
date of your last waiver, if any.
What
coverage
can I
get by
completing
this form? You
can get Basic, Option A, and Option B, if the Office of Federal
Employees' Group Life Insurance (OFEGLI) approves your
physical. OFEGLI is an administrative unit of Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company that processes these requests and
pays claims for the FEGLI Program.
You cannot get Option C by completing this form.
How do I
complete
this
form?
Ask your human resources office to complete Part A.
You must complete Part C. Answer all of the questions, or
mark N/A (for not applicable). Do not leave an answer
blank.
Bring this form to your physician or other healthcare
provider.
Sign in Part C, in the presence of your physician or other
healthcare provider.
Ask him/her to complete Part D.
Ask him/her to mail the completed form directly to OFEGLI.
OFEGLI must receive the form within 60 days of the date of
the physical.
Do
I
have to pay for this
physical?
Yes, you must pay any fee for the physical. Your agency or
OFEGLI cannot pay for it.
What is
Option B?
It is life insurance equal to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 times your annual salary
(after rounding your salary up to the nearest thousand dollars, if it
is not already an even thousand). It is also called Additional
Optional insurance.
What is
Option C?
It is life insurance for your family, available in 1 to 5 multiples.
Each multiple equals $5,000 for your spouse and $2,500 for each
eligible dependent child. It is also called Family Optional
insurance. You cannot elect Option C by completing th is form.
You can only elect Option C during an open enrollment period or
if you have a life event (marriage, divorce, death of spouse, or
adding an eligible child to your family) and you already have
Basic.
When is
coverage effective?
Basic will be effective on the first day you are in a pay and duty
status on or after OFEGLI's approval date.
Option A and/or Option B will be effective on the first day you
are in a pay and duty status on or after OFEGLI's approval date
and on or after the date your agency receives your SF 2817, Life
Insurance Election.
However, if you are not in a pay and duty status within 60 days
after the approval date you will not have Basic insurance (unless
you already had it when you filled out this form), and you cannot
elect Option A or Option B. If you do not submit an SF 2817
within those 60 days, you cannot elect Option A or Option B.
What is pay and duty status
?
This means you are on duty, receiving pay. You are not on
annual leave, sick leave, administrative leave or otherwise absent
from duty.

How will
I
know if
OFEGLI
approves
my
physical?
Your human resources office will tell you. OFEGLI contacts
your human resources office as soon as it approves or denies your
request. You should contact your human resources office if it is
more than 2 weeks after the date your physician or other
healthcare provider performed the physical and you do not yet
know whether OFEGLI approved your physical.
My
agency
told me that
OFEGLI
approved
my
request.
What do I
do?
If you just want Basic insurance, you do not have to do anything.
You will automatically have it on the first day you are in a pa y
and duty status on or after the date of OFEGLI's approval (as
long as you are in a pay and duty status within 60 days of
OFEGLI's approval.)
If you want Option A and/or Option B, you must complete
SF 2817, Life Insurance Election. Your human resources office
must receive your form within 60 days after OFEGLI's approval.
Sign for Basic and for Option A and/or Option B. Be sure to
mark the number of Option B multiples you want to have.
Approval of your physical allows you to elect up to a total of 5
multiples of Option B.
Each SF 2817 you complete replaces the previous form. You
must sign for all coverage you currently have and wish to keep,
AND you must sign for all new coverage you wish to elect. If
you have coverage now and do not sign for that coverage, you
have cancelled that coverage.
My
agency
told me that
OFEGLI
denied
my
request.
Can
I
appeal?
OFEGLI's decision is final. There are no formal appeal
procedures. You or your physician or other healthcare provider
may call OFEGLI at 1-800-633-4542 and ask why it denied your
request for insurance. Depending on the reason for the denial,
you may be able to submit add itional medical evidence.
OFEGLI may have denied your request because you didn't wait
until at least one year after the date of your last waiver of
insurance. If so, you can wait until that year has passed, complete
another SF 2822, and have another physical. OFEGLI can
discuss your options.
Where can I
get more
information about
the FEGLI
program?
You can find more information on the FEGLI website at
www.opm.gov/insure/life. Read the FEGLI Booklet (FE 76-21
or FE 76-20 for Postal employees) and/or the FEGLI Handbook
(RI 76-26) (available in electronic format only).

When do we
complete
this
form?
Complete Part A of this form whenever an employee asks you to, IF the employee
is eligible for life insurance (see below). Be sure to include a complete, legible
address where OFEGLI can send you its approval/denial. OFEGLI will not retype
this address. It will fold this form and put it in a window envelope if you do not
give an email address or fax number. That is why it is vital that your address is
clear and complete.
When is an
employee eligible?
An employee is eligible if:
he/she is in a position that allows FEGLI coverage, AND
at least one year has passed since the effective date of his/her most recent
waiver or cancellation of life insurance coverage.
What do we do with the form after
completing
Part
A?
Give the form to the employee. The employee and his/her physician or other
healthcare provider must complete the rest of the form and send it to OFEGLI.
OFEGLI will consider the results of the physical and either approve or deny the
request for insurance.
How will we
receive
OFEGLI's
decision?
OFEGLI will send you its decision in one of three ways: by email, fax or regular
mail. If you give an email address in Block 14 above, OFEGLI will email its
decision to you. If you don't give an email address, but do give a fax number in
Block 15 above, OFEGLI will fax its decision to you. If you only give a mailing
address, OFEGLI will mail its decision to you.
When will we
receive
OFEGLI's
decision?
You should receive OFEGLI's decision within 2 weeks after it receives the form
from the employee's physician or other healthcare provider. If you have any
questions about the status of the decision, please call OFEGLI at 1-800-633-4542.
