IRS employees have some of the toughest and most under-appreciated jobs in the federal government. Now, you can reward yourself with Group Term Life Insurance that can help meet your needs. For a popular FEGLI alternative, IRS employees look to WAEPA.

WAEPA – Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies – is a nonprofit organization devoted to the needs of federal civilians. Active since World War II, WAEPA provides a wide range of services. We are primarily known for our Group Term Life Insurance policies.

With us, federal employees at most age bands can get competitive benefits at lower premiums compared to FEGLI.

We strive to support members of the federal service in their career and life planning:

Group Term Life Insurance from WAEPA provides up to $1.5 million in coverage for eligible members, which will not be lost if you change jobs or retire – even after leaving the federal government. An eligible member’s coverage also extends to spouses and children.

Guaranteed Issue Life Insurance means qualifying federal employees, including IRS employees, cannot be turned down coverage for up to $100,000 within their first year of hire. If you qualify for this offer, you do not need to submit medical documentation or other complex paperwork to access your benefits. An applicant must simply be a U.S. citizen under age 70 applying within one year of first-time, non-military government hire.

With a bevy of retirement and savings options, federal service is anything but simple. Our Financial Wellness Planning will give you a head start making the right decisions to meet your needs. We work with the experts at Ernst & Young, a pioneering brand in personal finance. You’ll get informed, personalized advice direct from your own financial advisor.

WAEPA isn’t just insurance. We’re always developing new benefits and resources as we work with the top organizations devoted to a better federal service experience. No matter where you are in the world, you can access our webinar series on retirement planning and other vital career issues – created alongside the experts at The National Institute of Transition Planning.

No matter what life insurance option you pursue, we want you to have the chance to make an informed decision. View our online life insurance calculators to get complete details on potential benefits and premiums. You’ll see why tens of thousands of federal personnel choose WAEPA.

Underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company, our policies come from a name you can trust. Since World War II, WAEPA has been exclusively dedicated to helping those who serve our nation to meet their needs throughout their careers and even in retirement.
