Federal health benefits and re-enrolling family members

0

Q. I’m a CSRS retiree under Blue Cross Family Plan 105. My wife is still working. She has just taken a new private-sector job with full health benefits. If I drop her from my FEHBP and go to self status, can I re-enroll her later under my Blue Cross coverage when she quits or retires?

A. Yes, under Qualifying Life Event 2G if she loses her coverage under a nonfederal health plan.
