Q. I have recently read an article that stated the following: The survivor of an individual who meets the definition of a FERS annuitant is not eligible for the FERS Basic Employee Death Benefit (BEDB), the BEDB is a lump sum payment made to the spouse of an individual who dies while still in federal service. This individual has not filed an application for retirement and has not separated from federal service. So, does this mean as a retired annuitant, a spouse who was provided a spousal benefit cannot get any benefit for carrying the Basic Life into retirement?

Q. I am a CSRS employee, 55 years old with 31 years of service. If I receive a voluntary separation incentive payment, is it reduced by six weeks of severance pay I received in 1997?

And does FEGLI pay out the same death benefit as currently indicated in my Employee Benefit Information System?
