Participation in premium conversion is automatic for eligible employees.

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.  

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.  

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.�
