In episode 162 of The Federal Retirement Show, we continue our countdown of the most common (and costly) mistakes federal employees make—this week shining a spotlight on FEGLI Option B.

Many federal employees carry Option B coverage for years without realizing how dramatically the cost increases with age—or how often better, less expensive alternatives are available. Val breaks down how FEGLI Option B really works, why it becomes one of the most expensive insurance choices in your 40s, 50s, and beyond, and how this single benefit decision can quietly drain your retirement cash flow.
