Q: My husband is retired from civil service. We were not married at the time of his retirement. It has been three years since we married and I wanted to know if I was able to get coverage on his health insurance. We had attempted to get some help locally when we first got married but we were told no.
A: He could have done that from 31 days before you married through 60 days after the event. Since he didn’t, he can still change from self-only to self-and-family coverage during the upcoming FEHB open season.
