Winter 2019 Quarterly Report
WAEPA Waives Premium Fees for January During Government Shutdown
Greetings!

Thank you for being a WAEPA Member. WAEPA understands the struggle that many Feds go through during a Government Shutdown. We apologize for the stress this may be causing you and your family.  As you may know, we announced this week that we'll be waiving premium fees due in January for all of our insured members. 

After more than 75 years of serving Civilian Federal Employees, we've worked with our members on occasions like these to ensure they’re taken care of and that their families remain protected. We understand the struggle many Feds are going through during this period, and we stand with you.

If you have questions about how this credit will impact your account, please visit our FAQs page to learn more.

Sincerely,

Shane Canfield, CEO
