Frequently Asked Questions About Denied FEGLI Claims

Can an ex-spouse collect FEGLI benefits?
Generally, FEGLI benefits are paid to the named beneficiary, even if that person is an ex-spouse. However, disputes can arise, and courts may intervene if there is evidence of intent to change the beneficiary.

What happens if no beneficiary is listed?
If no beneficiary is designated, FEGLI benefits are distributed according to federal law, typically to the surviving spouse, children, or parents.

Does FEGLI cover suicide?
Yes, FEGLI policies generally cover suicide, provided the policy was in effect and the policyholder was eligible at the time of death.

How long do I have to appeal a denied FEGLI claim?
It's important to act quickly. While there is no strict deadline, delaying an appeal can make it more difficult to gather necessary evidence and may impact the outcome.

Do I need a lawyer to appeal a denied FEGLI claim?
While not required, having an experienced attorney can significantly improve your chances of a successful appeal, especially in complex cases involving disputes or administrative errors.
