Are you a civilian employee of the Office of the Inspector General at the Department of Defense under the age of 70? If so, you may qualify for Group Term Life Insurance and other benefits from WAEPA. When considering the ideal Group Term Life Insurance for OIG employees, you have options. Since World War II, WAEPA has helped federal civilian employees access the top FEGLI alternative benefits package. At most age bands, our members’ premiums rates are lower than FEGLI.

Worldwide Assurance for Employees of Public Agencies (WAEPA) has provided Group Term Life Insurance and other resources tailored specifically to Civilian Federal Employees since 1943. Office of the Inspector General at the Department of Defense (OIG) employees may be eligible to apply for WAEPA’s products. 

Coverage from WAEPA is fully portable, yours to keep even if you change jobs or retire. Compared to FEGLI, WAEPA provides lower costs and premiums for members across several age groups.
