Lawmaker pushes life insurance for federal workers

A Civil Service proposal would authorize life insurance agreements for retired federal employees insured under nonprofit groups, tied to the Federal Employees Group Insurance Act of 1954. An amendment to the District of Columbia Code would align charitable bequests with the Federal Estate Tax law, exempting certain legacies for educational religious or humanitarian purposes from DC taxes.
