elect temporary continuation of coverage under this subpart. Eligible 
individuals are as follows:
    (1) Former employees whose coverage ends because of a separation 
from Federal service under any circumstances except an involuntary 
separation for gross misconduct.
    (2) Individuals whose coverage as children under the family 
enrollment of an employee, former employee, or annuitant ends because 
they cease meeting the requirements for being considered unmarried 
dependent children. For the purpose of this section, children who are 
enrolled under this part as survivors of deceased employees or 
annuitants are considered to be children under a family enrollment of an 
employee or annuitant at the time of the qualifying event.
    (3) Former spouses of employees, of former employees having 
continued family coverage under this subpart, or of annuitants, if the 
former spouse would be eligible for continued coverage under subpart H 
of this part except for failure to meet the requirement of Sec. 
890.803(a) (1) or (3) of this part or the documentation requirements of 
Sec. 890.806(a) of this part, including former spouses who lose 
eligibility under subpart H within 36 months after termination of the 
marriage because they ceased meeting the requirement of Sec. 890.803(a) 
(1) or (3) of this part.
    (b) An individual who is otherwise eligible for benefits under this 
part (excluding the temporary extension of coverage and conversion 
privilege set forth in subpart D of this part) is not entitled to 
continued coverage under this subpart.
