Do Government employees ought to purchase private life insurance?
As a government worker, you should know the benefits and factors of the federal employee’s group life insurance (FEGLI). The FEGLI is one of the widespread employer-provided insurance schemes in the nation and is life-term insurance. You are automatically part of the insurance policy if you are a federal government employee.
You may like to change the scope to private insurance as you grow older, although the FEGLI is best for some workers.
Five factors of FEGLI you should be aware of are:
i. FEGLI provides exclusive customization options: the FEGLI might not be a perfect option for you. Please ignore that it is an automatically enrolled scheme for you as a government worker. Privately-owned insurance provides more flexible options, such as permanent life insurance. Unlike the private insurance company, the FEGLI does not offer you term insurance policies that can enhance your living benefits. Private insurance is more costly but provides more effective and efficient insurance packages than the FEGLI.
ii. FEGLI plans to provide fewer coverage limits: Most insurance plans recommend 7-10 times your salary as their coverage limit. In comparison, the federal employee’s group life insurance coverage limit is five times your annual salary, making these plans less valuable than other insurance schemes.
iii. FEGLI premium payments are gone forever: FEGLI policy is basically “Rented” insurance. Therefore, it does not give cash values, unlike private insurance that offers you “Permanent” life insurance, such as the monthly premiums in the form of cash value or the Indexed Universal Life (IUL).
iv. FEGLI offers you less coverage when you retire: Different types of FEGLI provide less coverage for retirement, specifically the basic FEGIL, which the package reduces after retirement. The decreased coverage payments end if you retire at age 65.
v. FEGLI plans become more expensive after age 50: The FEGLI monthly premiums fluctuate. You might start the plan at a younger age with cheap premiums, but as time passes, it will get more expensive, especially at age 50. The effect of this FEGLI is that you end up paying more for less coverage when you are 50 years old and above.
