Temporary Continuation of Coverage FAQ


Will the premium that I pay for continuation of coverage for my 22-year-old child be included in the premium conversion plan?

No, premiums that are paid under TCC are not eligible for premium conversion. � Although we realize that you may make the premium payments on behalf of your child, the TCC policyholder is the child.� General tax rules do not allow pre-tax deductions for those who fail to qualify as dependents under the tax code.� Since your child is no longer a qualified dependent under the FEHB Program, pre-tax premium payments are not applicable .
