FEGLI Life Insurance Options
If you are turning 50 or are retiring soon, there may be some options to consider for your FEGLI Life Insurance.
I am sure those that are reading this article are very aware of FEGLI and how the system works. This article will specifically address those that are:
Age 50+
Those that are considering retirement
Those that may consider themselves Under Insured.
As you are aware when you reach 50 , every Five years, the premiums will increase. If you are taking the Full Opition B with 5X your salary you will see , in the example below, that your premiums can get quite expensive.
I will use a healthy 50 year old male, California resident , with a salary of $100K with the 5X option. His Term Life Insurance face value will be $602K. This is his base amount of $102K ($33.15 per month) + $500K for a total amount of $602K
Age Range Monthly Premium
50-54 $141.00 + $33.15 =$174.15
55 – 59 $249 + $33.15 =$282.145
60-64 $563.50 +$33.15 = $596.65
65- 69 $671.50 +$33.15 = $704.15
I will stop at a potential retirement age of 70. As you can see there is a dramatic increase in premiums. Run your own results with the FEGLI calculator.
Stand Alone Term Life Insurance
Now lets take the same 59 year old person above and run a stand alone Term Life Insurance Quote with the following criteria:
2o year term (Will cover him to age 70). I am taking the applicant down to Standard class. This allows for some minor health problems such as: Weight, Elevated Blood Pressure, Elevated Cholesterol etc.
SBLI came back with the best results at $154.51 per month. This is Level Term for $20 years. You can see the savings!
Very rarely are Two situations the same.
I understand everyone’s situation is different:
You may not need as much Life Insurance as you did when you were younger?
Maybe you have a major health problem and now company would insure you?
Maybe you are under insured?
