U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

Family member eligibility under the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) is the same as for the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHB).

Eligible family members are your:

• spouse (Public Law 104-199, Defense of Marriage Act, states, " the word "marriage" means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word "spouse" refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife."),
• unmarried dependent child(ren) under age 22 (including an adopted child, stepchild, foster child, and recognized natural child), and
• child(ren) age 22 or over who are incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical disability that existed before reaching age 22.
