You must contact BENEFEDS at 1-877-888-3337, to make arrangements to pay your premiums directly, on a post-tax basis.

Your coverage will end when you begin a period of non-pay status if you are not making direct premium payments to BENEFEDS.

Your Basic Insurance stops at the end of the day on which you complete 12 months of nonpay status, subject to a free 31-day extension of coverage(PDF file) and conversion privilege to a nongroup policy(PDF file). Your employing office must complete an Agency Certification of Insurance Status (SF 2821) and a Notice of Conversion Privilege (SF 2819), the same as for any other termination action. Please refer to the FEGLI handbook(PDF file) for more information.
