WAEPA Guide – 2013 Life Insurance Guide
Introduction
Life insurance usually brings protection and peace of mind for Federal families. And our primary goal, in bringing you
WAEPA’s 2013 Life Insurance Guide, was to help Federal families understand the basics of coverage within the
Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) program.
But we’d also like Federal Employees, like you, to become informed about what we believe is a better way to protect
your family, bring peace of mind, and keep more of your hard-earned dollars at the same time.
Since 1943, over 100,000 Federal Employees and their dependants have been insured by WAEPA (Worldwide
Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies.) WAEPA is a non-profit association (not an insurance company)
governed by a board of directors composed of senior level government officials, who serve without pay and at their
own expense. Today, over 42,000 Federal Employees and their dependants currently belong to WAEPA and life
insurance in force exceeds $10.1 billion.
We urge you to take a look at the differences between FEGLI benefits and costs versus WAEPA benefits and costs.
Just a few of the many reasons over 42,000 current Federal Employees and their dependants now use WAEPA:
•
Lower premiums for you, the civilian federal or U.S. postal service employee. If you are less than 65, you can
save money with WAEPA's life insurance plan compared to your current FEGLI coverage.
•
WAEPA's premiums for your spouse and dependent children are also significantly less than those charged by
FEGLI.
•
More coverage options for you the federal employee. WAEPA offers coverage from $25,000 up to $750,000.
You choose the right amount of coverage to meet your individual needs. Unlike FEGLI, you are not limited by
the amount of your annual salary.
•
More coverage options for your dependent spouse. WAEPA offers coverage from $10,000 up to $250,000 (the
current FEGLI maximum is $25,000).
•
As a non-profit association, WAEPA has instituted a premium refund policy. Since 1996, WAEPA has
declared eleven such annual refunds during which time WAEPA policy holders have received over
$65,000,000 in returned premiums (the Federal Program – FEGLI – has never declared a refund).
•
WAEPA also offers more coverage for your dependent children. WAEPA offers up to $25,000 of coverage
(the current FEGLI maximum is $12,500).
•
Coverage for you non-dependent adult children, a benefit not provided by FEGLI. Your non-dependent adult
children are eligible to apply for their own WAEPA coverage from $25,000 up to $750,000 (even if they are
not federal employees) once you become a member of WAEPA. It is easy for you to join WAEPA, just pay a
one-time $2.00 membership fee, and no insurance purchase is required on your part.
We hope that you find this 2013 Life Insurance Guide helpful. If you have any questions about WAEPA’s Life
Insurance coverage, please feel free to call us at 1-800-368-3484 or visit our website at www.waepa.org.

WAEPA Guide – 2013 Life Insurance Guide
Coverage Options – Basic Insurance
FEGLI
WAEPA
Basic Insurance
Level Term Insurance
Based on Employee's annual basic pay after the
locality adjustment, rounded up to the nearest
$1,000, plus an additional $2,000. Rates are based
on the employee’s age, and they increase every five
years.
Coverage available in $25,000 increments from
$25,000 to $750,000. It is not based on salary or
wage scale. Any eligible employee can apply for
any coverage amount. Rates are based on the
employee’s age, and they increase every five years.
Example: an employee who makes $47,285/yr
would have basic coverage in the amount of
$50,000 ($47,285 rounded up to $48,000, plus an
additional $2,000).
Also, WAEPA’s associate member program offers
coverage from $25,000 up to $750,000 to your
spouse, domestic partner and non-dependent adult
children – even if they are not federal employees.
Your spouse and non-dependent adult children are
eligible to apply for associate member coverage
once you obtain WAEPA insurance, or become a
WAEPA member by paying the one-time $2.00
membership fee.
Extra Benefit
Free additional coverage offered to all employees
under 45 years of age. It is a multiple of the Basic
insurance only.

Take the Basic pay and multiply it by the multiplier
to obtain the total basic coverage offered to the
employee.
Example: 40 yr old employee with 50k of Basic
coverage has $50,000 x 1.5 = $75,000. This
employee has $75,000 of Basic coverage, but is
only paying for $50,000 of coverage.

just like the Basic coverage.

spouse is limited to no more than half of the
employee’s coverage. Rates increase every 5 years.
Rates for Option C are based on the federal
employee's age.
Rates for Dependent coverage are based on the
employee’s age. Coverage for children is based on
the amount of coverage selected for the

grandchild.

Example: 43 year old making $66,479 has
Basic, Option A, Option B (4x), and Option
C (4x). The premium and coverage
amount is calculated as follows:
Example: 43 year old making $66,479 has
Basic, Option A, Option B (4x), and Option
C (4x). The premium and coverage
amount is calculated as follows:
Basic: $66,479 rounded up plus $2,000 equals
$69,000. Then apply the Extra Benefit (x1.2), so
$69,000x1.2=$82,800
Level Term: $375,000 is the closest coverage
amount WAEPA can offer, since coverage is not
based on salary
Option A: $10,000
Option B: $66,479 rounded up to the nearest
$1,000, then times 4, so $67,000x4=$268,000
Option C: $5,000 times 4 for the spouse, and
$2,500 times 4 for the children, so $20,000 for the
spouse and $10,000 on each child
Dependent Coverage: WAEPA can offer $20,000
of spousal coverage and $5,000 of coverage on
children
Basic + Option A + Option B + Option C =
69x3.9 + 10x1.56 + 268x1.30 + 20x2.18 =
Level Term + Dependent Coverage =
375x1.12 + 20x1.6 =
$676.70/yr for: $360,800 employee coverage,
$20,000 spousal coverage, and
$10,000 on each child
$452.00/yr for: $375,000 employee coverage,
$20,000 spousal coverage, and

Insurance Coverage in Retirement
FEGLI
WAEPA
Retirement
Retirement
Retirement can drastically change the FEGLI
coverage. You must have FEGLI insurance for at
least 5 years before retirement in order to be
eligible to continue insurance after retirement.
Retirement does not affect the WAEPA policy in
any way. If an employee is paying their premium
via payroll deduction, they will need to change to a
direct bill basis or bank draft to continue their
premium payments.
Basic Insurance
Level Term Insurance
Three choices await at retirement, 75% Reduction,
50% Reduction, and No Reduction.
No change due to retirement, but coverage amounts
are limited beginning at age 60. An employee’s
coverage may or may not decrease depending on
their existing coverage.
75% Reduction: At retirement or age 65, whichever
is later, your basic insurance reduces by 2% each
month until 25% of your basic is left. Once your
basic begins to reduce you no longer have to pay
for any basic coverage for the rest of your life.
Coverage maximums are as follows: Age 60 $250,000, Age 65 - $125,000, Age 70 - $75,000,
Age 75 - $50,000, Age 80 - $25,000, Age 85 - No
Coverage
50% Reduction: At retirement or age 65, whichever
is later, your basic insurance reduces by 1% each
month until 50% of your basic is left. Once your
basic begins to reduce, you must pay $7.68/yr for
each $1000 of coverage you have remaining.
No Reduction: At retirement or age 65, whichever
is later, there is no reduction in your basic
coverage, and the premium is $23.28/yr for each
$1000 of coverage you have under the basic.
Option A - Standard
Only one option exists at retirement, 75%
reduction.
Option A
WAEPA does not specifically offer Optional
coverage. Applicants can apply for as much
coverage as they want under the Level Term plan.
75% Reduction: At retirement or age 65, whichever
is later, your Option A will reduce by 2% each
month until 25% of Option A is left. Once Option
A begins to reduce you no longer have to pay for
any Option A coverage for the rest of your life.

coverage. Applicants can apply for as much
coverage as they want under the Level Term plan.

is later, your Option B will reduce by 2% each
month until all coverage is gone. Once Option B
begins to reduce, you no longer have to pay for any
Option B coverage.
No Reduction: At retirement or age 65, whichever
is later, your Option B will remain the same and the
rates would remain as if you are still actively
employed. At any time you can choose to switch
to Full Reduction.
Option C (Family)
Two options are available at retirement, Full
reduction or No reduction.
Full Reduction: At retirement or age 65, whichever
is later, your Option C will reduce by 2% each
month until all coverage is gone. Once Option C

coverage may or may not decrease depending on
their existing coverage.

Age 75 - No Coverage.

Changing WAEPA Insurance
FEGLI Basic can be cancelled at any time for any
reason. Option A, B, and C can be reduced or
cancelled at any time for any reason.
FEGLI coverage is reduced by completing form SF
2817, and returning it to OPM.
FEGLI Basic can be obtained, if you do not have it
already, by a federal Open Season or by waiting a
year and applying for the coverage. If you wait a
year to apply, you must have a physical exam
which the applicant must pay for.
WAEPA coverage can be decreased at any time for
any reason.
A decrease or cancellation of coverage is obtained
by sending WAEPA a written request of the
change.
WAEPA coverage can be increased up to age 65.
An increase in coverage requires completion of an
application and possibly a medical exam and/or
physician's statement. WAEPA will pay for the
medical exam, and pay up to $50 for the
physician's statement.
Option A can be obtained, if you do not have it
already, by a federal Open Season or by waiting a
year and applying for the coverage. If you wait a
year to apply, you must have a physical exam
which the applicant must pay for.
Option B can be obtained or increased by a federal
Open Season, by waiting a year and then applying,
or by experiencing a Qualified Life Event. If you
wait a year to apply, you must have a physical
exam which the applicant must pay for.
A Qualified Life Event is defined as: Marriage,
Divorce, Death of a Spouse, Birth or adoption of a
child. For each person involved in the life event
the multiple of Option B can be increased by that
same number, not to exceed 5x
A foster child does not count as a QLE for Option
B.
Option C can be obtained or increased only by a
federal Open Season or by experiencing a Qualified
Life Event.
For each person involved in the life event, the
multiple of Option C can be increased by that same
number, not to exceed 5x. A foster child does count
as a QLE for Option C purposes.

WAEPA Guide – 2013 Life Insurance Guide
Better Insurance. Better Prices. Better Value.®
A Brief History of WAEPA
WAEPA was formed in 1943 during World War II to provide life insurance coverage for civilian employees of the
U.S. Government who were serving overseas. The original name, War Agencies Employees Protective Association,
was changed in 1961 to Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies.
In May, 1973, membership was opened to all U.S. civilian government employees, regardless of duty assignment. In
January 1999, eligibility was extended to retired civilian federal employees. And in October 2000 non-dependent adult
children, parents, and parents-in-law of WAEPA members became eligible for membership. And in May 2006
Domestic Partners of WAEPA members became eligible for membership.
Over the years, WAEPA has insured over 100,000 federal employees and their dependents. In the past, members were
not able to retain their membership and insurance coverage after they retired or left government service. These
restrictions have now been eliminated.
Over 42,000 members now belong to WAEPA and life insurance in force exceeds $10.1 billion. During the past fiscal
year all members received a 25% return of premium. Plus, since 1996 WAEPA has refunded over 65 million dollars in
life insurance premiums to members.
WAEPA is a non-profit association (and not an insurance company) governed by a board of directors, composed of
senior level government officials, who serve without pay and at their own expense.
WAEPA’s offices are located in Falls Church, Virginia – a suburb of Washington, D.C.

WAEPA Guide – 2013 Life Insurance Guide
Top 10 Reasons to Switch from FEGLI to WAEPA
1. Lower premiums for you, the civilian federal or U.S. postal service employee. If you are less than 65, you
can save money with WAEPA's life insurance plan compared to your current FEGLI coverage.
2. WAEPA's premiums for your spouse and dependent children are also significantly less than those charged
by FEGLI.
3. With WAEPA life insurance coverage you would be eligible to participate in any future premium refunds.
WAEPA has returned over $65,000,000 in insurance premiums to its members since 1996.
4. More coverage options for you the federal employee. WAEPA offers coverage from $25,000 up to
$750,000. You choose the right amount of coverage to meet your individual needs. Unlike FEGLI, you are
not limited by the amount of your annual salary.
5. More coverage options for your dependent spouse. WAEPA offers coverage up to $250,000 (the current
FEGLI maximum is $25,000).
6. Domestic partners of WAEPA members are now eligible for coverage.
7. WAEPA also offers more coverage for your dependent children. WAEPA offers up to $25,000 of
coverage (the current FEGLI maximum is $12,500).
8. Coverage for you non-dependent adult children, a benefit not provided by FEGLI. Your non-dependent
adult children are eligible to apply for their own WAEPA coverage from $25,000 up to $750,000 (even if
they are not federal employees) once you become a member of WAEPA. It is easy for you to join
WAEPA, just pay a one-time $2.00 membership fee, and no insurance purchase is required on your part.
9. You can apply for an increase in your WAEPA coverage at any time. You don't need a special Open
Season to do so.
10. WAEPA insurance coverage continues if you leave federal service. You retain your WAEPA coverage if
you retire or become employed in the private sector.

Eligibility Requirements
As a WAEPA member, you can add coverage for
the following to your WAEPA life insurance policy:
• Your spouse or domestic partner
• Your dependent children under the age of 19or up to age 23 if they are full-time students
Children born to you and your spouse/domestic partner will
automatically become insured under your established dependent
coverage when they are two weeks old. If you remarry, you will
have to complete a new application for your spouse and any
adopted children. Benefits for your former spouse terminate when
he or she is no longer married to you. Benefits for your children
terminate when they marry, attain age 19, or cease to be a fulltime student up to age 23. All dependent coverage terminates
when your spouse or domestic partner attains age 75.
Page 4
Purchasing WAEPA
Insurance for Your Family
One low premium covers all of your eligible dependents,
including your spouse or domestic partner. (Domestic
partners must complete the Domestic Partner Affidavit
which can be found at www.waepa.org.) While the chart
above shows only our most popular plans, you can
purchase exactly as much dependent coverage as you
need – in $10,000 increments, up to $250,000.
Dependent coverage may not exceed 50% of your own member
coverage. After you reach the age of 60, the amount of dependent
coverage you can purchase is limited. If your dependent coverage
exceeds this limit when you turn 60, it will automatically be
reduced to the amount permitted. If you and your spouse/domestic
partner are both WAEPA members, you cannot insure each other as
dependents, and only one of you may insure dependent children.
Both you and your spouse/domestic partner must be less than age
65 when you apply for dependent coverage. Spouses, domestic
partners, or children who are full-time members of the Armed
Forces are not eligible for dependent coverage.

Why
WAEPA?
Better Insurance
Top 10 Reasons to Join WAEPA
Value: WAEPA exists as a non-profit association to help
federal employees get more insurance and pay less.
1. Lower premiums for you.
Save up to 85%.
Quality: Our coverage is underwritten by Life
Insurance Company of North America (LINA), a company
rated “excellent” by A.M. Best and Moody’s.
2. Lower premiums for your family. Cover
your spouse and dependent children for less.
Flexibility: Our insurance program is structured so
you can configure your coverage according to what you
need, not a fixed formula.
According to Our Members…
WAEPA recently engaged an independent research
firm to find out how our members feel about WAEPA
and FEGLI. Only those who had insurance through
WAEPA and FEGLI were included in our survey. Don’t
just take our word for it. Here’s what real government
employees had to say:
3. Eligibility for premium refunds. Since
1996, WAEPA has returned over
$58 million to its members.
4. More coverage options for you. WAEPA offers coverage from $25,000 up to $750,000.
5. More options for your spouse/domestic partner.
Dependent coverage from $10,000 to $250,000.
6. More protection for your dependent
children. WAEPA offers twice as
much coverage as FEGLI.
7. Associate Memberships. Your non-dependent adult children can join WAEPA and save on their own insurance.

10. It’s more than just life insurance. Your WAEPA
coverage includes death and dismemberment,
additional accident benefits, and free common carrier insurance.
8. Complete flexibility. You can change your
coverage at any time (no need to wait
for an open season).
Over 60 Years of Service
WAEPA is a non-profit association (not an insurance company) formed during World War II by federal employees, for federal employees.
Now, we currently protect over 42,000 federal employees and their families with over $8.8 billion of life insurance coverage.
The critical benefit of all those policies is the ability to safeguard loved ones if the worst should happen. Ensuring that security at the lowest
possible cost has been our mission – and our honored commitment – since 1943.
