“I was shocked when my union rep told me FEGLI premiums rise in five‑year age bands—I had no clue I was paying over $100 per pay period, and it was set to double at my next birthday. After years of paying into that plan with nothing to show for it, I’m grateful to AFGE for helping me switch to their life insurance.

Now I have peace of mind with stable, transparent premiums—and real protection for my family when it matters most. Thank you, AFGE!”

“When I met with my Union Benefits Rep after orientation, she was the only person who truly helped me understand my options. After comparing the Union’s life insurance with FEGLI, it wasn’t even close. With the Union plan, my premium stays fixed—and I’ll have over $100,000 in cash value by retirement. That’s a win‑win.

I signed up with the Union that same day!”

"I met my Union Benefit representative at a luncheon where he discussed the various benefits, including those offered by Aflac. I had always heard that Aflac was a good option, but I never fully understood what it entailed. My representative explained the plans in great detail, and I ultimately decided to enroll in all of them. I never thought I would actually need these benefits, but I figured it was better to be safe than sorry.
Fast forward 18 months: I was diagnosed with major cancer. Thank goodness I enrolled in those benefits! I received over $90,000 in Aflac benefits and an additional $75,000 from my Union Member Life Insurance Living Benefits. Enrolling was the best decision I ever made!"

Our Union Benefits Rep helped my entire family enroll in the Union Life Insurance plan—and I’m so glad she did. With FEGLI, coverage is minimal, and kids age out at 22. But thanks to the Union’s plan, each of my children now has their own policy with level premiums, growing cash value, and the ability to transfer as they become adults.

Best of all? The plan stays with us—even if I leave my job—so my family’s protected no matter what.”
