Question(s) Presented

Assuming the government owes its employees a duty to provide forms to enable them to convert their Federal Employees Group Life Insurance policies to individual insurance upon separation from federal service, did the Claims Court correctly decide that the breach of this duty does not give rise to a right to recover money damages against the government?

Holding

Yes. “The judgment appealed from is affirmed by an equally divided court.”
