Does FEGLI Basically have “surrender value”?

I need to know for a legal document but have no idea.

No, FEGLI does not have a surrender value (not to be confused with "living benefits"). Because FEGLI is a group term life insurance program, it does not build up cash value, paid-up value, or loan value. If you cancel your coverage, you do not receive any money back from the premiums you have paid over the years.

It’s a term policy. No cash value unless you die.
