Sec. 890.305  Reinstatement of enrollment after military service.

    (a) The enrollment of an employee or annuitant whose enrollment was 
terminated under Sec. 890.304(a)(1)(vi), (vii), or (viii) or Sec. 
890.304(b)(4)(iii) is automatically reinstated on the day the employee 
is restored to a civilian position under the provisions of part 353 of 
this chapter, or similar authority, or on the day the annuitant is 
separated from the uniformed services, as the case may be.
    (b) An employee whose employing office terminates his or her 
enrollment because his or her order to enter on duty in a uniformed 
service is for a period longer than 30 days, and who retires on an 
immediate annuity from his or her Federal civilian position while on 
such duty, may reinstate his or her enrollment by asking to do so within 
60 days after retirement. In the absence of such a request, the 
retirement system automatically reinstates the enrollment on the day the 
person separates from the uniformed service. For the retirement system 
to reinstate the enrollment, the individual must have been covered under 
this part since his or her first opportunity or for the 5 years of 
civilian service (excluding the period of uniformed service) immediately 
preceding the civilian retirement, whichever is shorter.
