(a)(1) An employee's Basic insurance amount (BIA) is either: (i) His/her annual rate of basic pay, rounded to the next higher thousand, plus $2,000; or (ii) $10,000; whichever is higher, unless an employee has elected a Living Benefit under subpart K of this part. Effective for pay periods beginning on or after October 30, 1998, there is no maximum BIA.

(b) An employee's BIA automatically changes whenever annual pay is increased or decreased by an amount sufficient to raise or lower pay to a different $1,000 bracket, unless the employee has elected a Living Benefit under subpart K of this part. (c) The amount of an employee's Basic Life insurance coverage is equal to his/her BIA multiplied by the appropriate factor based on the employee's age, as follows: [62 FR 48731, Sept. 17, 1997, as amended at 64 FR 72461, Dec. 28, 1999]
