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.

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. 35 and under 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 and over Extra Benefit WAEPA does not offer an Extra Benefit. 2.0x 1.9x 1.8x 1.7x 1.6x 1.5x 1.4x 1.3x 1.2x 1.1x 1.0x 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. WAEPA – Better Insurance.

The rates for Option A change every five years, just like the Basic coverage. Option B - Additional Option B is offered in 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 multiples of your pay. Round your Basic pay up to the nearest $1,000 only, then apply the option B multiple. The rates for Option B change every five years, just like the Basic coverage. WAEPA does not specifically offer Optional coverage. Applicants can apply for as much coverage as they want under the Level Term plan. Option B WAEPA does not specifically offer Optional coverage. Applicants can apply for as much coverage as they want under the Level Term plan. Option C (Family) Dependent Coverage Option C is offered in 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 multiples of the base coverage. The base coverage is described as $5,000 for your spouse and $2,500 for each child. The rates for Option C change every 5 years, just like the Basic coverage. Coverage available from $10,000 - $250,000 in $10,000 increments for spouses, and $2,500 $25,000 for dependent children. Coverage for the 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 spouse/domestic partner. Eligibility is defined as a spouse by marriage only, children, step-children, foster children, or grandchildren if the member has custody of the grandchild. Eligibility is defined as a spouse or Domestic Partner, children, step-children, foster children, or grandchildren if the employee has custody of the grandchild. Children must be unmarried and under 22 years of age. Children 22 years or older may be covered if they are incapable of self support because of a mental or physical disability which was present before the child's 22nd birthday. Coverage for spouses/domestic partners continues until the spouse/domestic partner reaches age 75. Children must be unmarried full time students under the age of 23. If a child is not a student, coverage terminates at age 19. A Domestic Partner is defined as an individual who is at least 18 years of age; shares your permanent residence, is financially interdependent with you, has signed a domestic partner declaration with you (if you reside within a jurisdiction that provides declarations), and executes a domestic partner affidavit attesting to the validity of the relationship.

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 $5,000 on each child WAEPA – Better Insurance.

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 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.

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 – Better Insurance. Better Prices.
