duty requirements for employees who made new FEGLI
elections during Open Season, and, upon the employee's
qualification, will generate a Form 50, FEGLI Change (NOA
881). Once the effective date is calculated, employees will
receive a copy of Form 50 and a copy of Part 3 -
Employee Copy of the FE-2004, FEGLI 2004 Open
Season Election Form, in separate mailings at their
address of record.
All employees who made a FEGLI Open Season election should do the following:
• Verify that the elected change in coverage has taken
place correctly by checking their leave and earnings
statement for the pay period their election becomes
effective.
• If they believe that their previous coverage has been
cancelled inadvertently, contact the local personnel
office immediately so the situation can be researched and corrected.
