Summary

Amends Federal law concerning Government organization and employees to require that any amount of group life insurance and group accidental death insurance that would otherwise be paid under the order of precedence named, be paid in whole or in part, by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to another person if and to the extent expressly provided for in the terms of any court decree of divorce, annulment, or legal separation, or the terms of any court order or court-approved property settlement agreement incident to any court decree of divorce, annulment, or legal separation.
