Government Employees Get Insurance Coverage Expanded
About 40 Corry federal civilian workers this week enrolled under a U S government group insurance plan. Automatic coverage applies unless a waiver is filed. Eligible workers include most federal civilians, with exceptions for overseas noncitizens and part time workers. The plan offers double indemnity for accidental death, benefits for loss of limbs or sight, and a retirement life policy after work ends. Insurance equals one year's pay for coverage, with cost at 25 cents per $1,000 biweekly via payroll deduction. The government pays half the cost, and surrender of loan privileges is not offered. The largest local group is postal workers, plus about 10 other federal employees in the city.
