Enrollment Deadlines

When your coverage begins depends on who you are and when you turn in your enrollment application.

Active Duty Service Members
For active duty service members (including activated National Guard Reserve members), your coverage begins when your contractor receives your enrollment application.

All Others
As long as your regional contractor receives your completed enrollment application by the 20th of the month, your coverage will begin on the first day of the next month. The application must be received by the 20th of the month, not postmarked by the 20th of the month. If the form is received after the 20th of the month, then coverage begins on the first day of the second month following receipt of your application.
