Instructions To Employing Agencies
Completion of Certification
1. This certification must be completed in triplicate whenever an employee's
insurance terminates or is scheduled to terminate due to:
a. Death b. Retirement c. Completion of 12 months in non-pay status including those cases where the employee will be continuing all or some of his or her insurance while in receipt of workers' compensation. d. Any other reason, except under the following circumstances: (1) Employee waived or declined all insurance on his or her most recent SF 2817. (2) If it is known that, within 3 calendar days after the insurance terminates, the employee will return to Government service in the same position or another position and he or she will be eligible to reacquire insurance coverage. 2. In item 4b, indicate the retirement system under which the employee is covered.
If other than those shown, please specify. In item 4c, indicate the insured Office
of Workers' Compensation Programs case file number, if applicable.
3. In item 6, indicate whether the employee completed an Assignment of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance form (RI 76-10). If yes, attach the form. If the assignee(s) subsequently reassigned the insurance, attach the applicable RI 76-10 form(s). 4. In item 7, indicate whether the employee elected living benefits. If yes, attach the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) which was returned to the personnel office by OFEGLI, and indicate whether full or partial benefits were elected. If partial, indicate the dollar amount. 5. In item 9, give the date of the Notice of Conversion Privilege (SF 2819). In case of death in service, where employee had no Option C coverage, leave this item blank. 6. In item 11, "effective date of continuous coverage under the FEGLI Program"
means the date the employee began FEGLI coverage without a break for any
reason, except separation from the Federal service or exclusion by law or
regulation. In addition to the effective date of continuous FEGLI coverage,
indicate the dates of any break in service.
7. In item 12, indicate the dollar amount of Option A. In most cases, this will be
$10,000. However, the amount may exceed $10,000 if the combined total of the
maximum basic insurance amount and the $10,000 for this option is less than the
employee's annual basic rate of pay (the rate actually payable).
8. In item 12, 13, and 14, "effective date of election" means the date the employee
began the optional FEGLI coverage without a break for any reason, except
separation from the Federal service or exclusion by law or regulation.
9. Appropriate officials must certify that the employee's personnel and payroll
records are consistent with the information reported on this form. The two
certifications (in items 15 and 16) may not be made by the same official;
however, a payroll certification may be made by a personnel officer who has
access to payroll records.
10. If this certification is prepared for reasons other than separation for retirement, death, or end of 12 months in non-pay status, Do Not send the SF 2821 to OPM. Give or mail the original (Part 1) and duplicate (Part 2) to the employee or assignee(s), if applicable, with the SF 2819, for conversion purposes. However, if the employee is receiving compensation benefits, and employment terminates prior to the end of 12 months in non-pay status, check Other in item 4a and forward the original (Part 1) of the SF 2821 to the Office of Personnel Management, Retirement Operations Center, Boyers, PA 16017. 11. Important: When a duplicate SF 2821 is issued to replace one which is lost, it must be clearly marked "DUPLICATE". 2. Retirement of Employee a. If the retiring employee is applying for an immediate annuity and is eligible and will be continuing all life insurance into retirement, attach the original SF 2821 (Part 1), all designations of beneficiary (SF 54 or SF 2823), if any, and all life insurance elections (SF 176 or SF 2817), to the Application for Retirement and send these documents to OPM. Give the duplicate (Part 2) of the SF 2821 to the employee. (Note: In a disability retirement case where the retirement application has already been sent to OPM, attach the original SF 2821 and the other insurance forms to the "final" Individual Retirement Record [SF 2806/SF 3100 or equivalent].) If the retiring employee has an Assignment of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (RI 76-10) on file, you must attach it to the original SF 2821. If the retiring employee elected Living Benefits, attach the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) which was returned to the personnel office by OFEGLI. b. If the employee is continuing Basic Life insurance into retirement, have him or her complete SF 2818, Continuation of Life Insurance Coverage. Attach the complete SF 2818 to the original (Part 1) SF 2821. c. A retiring employee who will continue Basic Life insurance, but cancel (and therefore NOT CONVERT) one or more of the options for which he or she would otherwise be eligible, must complete SF 2817, Life Insurance Election, declining those options. However, if the employee has assigned his/her insurance, he/she may not cancel any insurance. Only the assignee(s) may do so. If the effective date of the change in coverage comes before the separation for retirement, process the SF 2817 as usual and attach the original, with all other life insurance elections, to the Application for Retirement. However, if the effective date of the change in coverage falls after the date of separation for retirement, indicate as such in item 6 of the SF 2817 designated Agency Remarks, give the employee his or her copy, and attach both the original and Part 2 to the SF 2821. In either event, OPM must have the executed SF 2817. The SF 2821 should be completed to reflect the retiring employee's insurance status at the time of separation for retirement and attached to the Application for Retirement. d. If the retiring employee will continue Basic Life insurance, but convert (and therefore NOT CANCEL) one or more of the options, complete the SF 2821 and submit the original (Part 1) with the Application for Retirement, as indicated in item 2a, above. However, if the employee has assigned his/her insurance, he/she may not convert any insurance. Only the assignee(s) may do so. The employee or assignee(s), if applicable, should submit the duplicate SF 2821 (Part 2) with a completed SF 2819, indicating which options he or she wishes to convert, to OFEGLI. Do Not have the employee or assignee(s), if applicable, complete an SF 2817, Life Insurance Election, declining the options being converted. e. If the retiring employee or assignee(s), if applicable, prefers to convert (and therefore NOT CANCEL) both Basic Life and all optional insurance(s) to an individual policy, give him or her the original and duplicate (Parts 1 and 2) of the SF 2821 and an SF 2819. Retain designations of beneficiary (SF 54 or SF 2823), if any. Do Not have the employee or assignee(s), if applicable, complete an SF 2817, Life Insurance Election, declining the options being converted. f. If the retiring employee is not eligible to continue life insurance coverage into retirement, give him or her or assignee(s), if applicable, the original and duplicate (Parts 1 and 2) of the SF 2821 and an SF 2819. Retain designations of beneficiary (SF 54 or SF 2823), if any.

3. Employee is Receiving Compensation Benefits a. Before completing items 12 through 14, contact the district Office of Workers' Compensation, if necessary, to confirm whether the employee still has any optional insurance. b. A compensationer is considered a retired employee for purposes of life insurance. Therefore, follow items 2a - 2f above. 4. All Other Cases Give or mail the original and duplicate (Parts 1 and 2 of the SF 2821) to the employee and/or assignee(s), as applicable. 5. In All Cases Retain the file copy (Part 3) of the SF 2821 in the employee's Official Personnel Folder or its equivalent.

Disposition of Certification
1. Death of Employee a. Send duplicate (Part 2) of the SF 2821 to the Office of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (OFEGLI), 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166-0188. b. Keep the original (preferably in the Official Personnel Folder or its equivalent) for attachment to a claim for death benefits (Form FE-6) when received. c. If no claim is received, send the original (Part 1) SF 2821, upon request, to OFEGLI. d. If the deceased employee has any designation of beneficiary forms (SF 54 or SF 2823) on file, you must attach them to the original SF 2821 when it is sent to OFEGLI. e. If the deceased employee has an Assignment of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance form (RI 76-10) on file, you must attach it to the original SF 2821 when it is sent to OFEGLI. If the employee elected Living Benefits, attach the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) which was returned to the personnel office by OFEGLI.

Prompt Certification Required
The time in which an employee or assignee(s), if applicable, may convert group life insurance to an individual policy is limited. This SF 2821 must be completed and delivered or mailed promptly.
