Participation is entirely voluntary.
However, if you are eligible, you are automatically enrolled in Basic unless you waive this coverage. You will be enrolled in Optional insurance only if you elect it. Basic life insurance coverage is effective on the first day you enter in a pay and duty status unless you waive this coverage before the end of your first pay period. Optional insurance for new employees is effective on the first day you are in a pay and duty status on or after the day your human resources office receives your affirmative election. You have 31 days from the date of your appointment to an eligible position in order to elect Optional insurance.
