How do Federal employees enroll in Premium Conversion? |
Participation in premium conversion is automatic for eligible employees. |
Can I choose not to enroll or participate in premium conversion? |
Yes, but you need to opt-out or waive participation in premium conversion.� You must file a waiver form by the date set by your agency, but not later than the day before the effective date of coverage. |
Can I change my premium conversion participation status? |
You may change your participation status in premium conversion during the annual FEHB open enrollment period, or during the calendar year if you have a qualifying life event.� Qualifying life events include marriage, birth of a child, or change in a spouse's employment. |
What happens if I am enrolled in premium conversion and leave the Government before the end of the calendar year? |
Enrollment or participation in premium conversion ends if you terminate or are terminated from Federal government employment.� If you are eligible and elect to participate in Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC), you pay those premiums directly on an after-tax basis.� |
