2200 CONTINUATION OF LIFE INSURANCE
BENEFITS UNDER FEGLI
2200.1 D.C. Code ' 1-623.1
(1991 Cum. Supp.) provides that the "life insurance benefits provisions of Chapter 87
of Title 5 of the United States Code shall apply to all employees of the District
government first employed before October 1, 1987, except those specifically excluded by
law or rule and regulation." Therefore, the federal regulations in 5 CFR, Part 870
and any other related federal regulations will continue to apply to each employee of the
District government first employed before October 1, 1987.
2200.2 Each employee newly employed on or after October 1, 1987, who
has had prior District government service and who during that prior service was covered
under FEGLI, regardless of whether the employee participated in the FEGLI program, shall
be eligible for life insurance coverage under FEGLI, if the current position meets the
requirements for FEGLI coverage.
