CSRS, resignation and FEHB

0

Q. I left civil service employment (CSRS) with the Defense Department in 1994 due to base closure with 17-plus years of service at age 42.

I elected to take a deferred annuity when I am 62 (next year). Will I be able to qualify for any FEHB plans when I start drawing my annuity?

A. No, you won’t. Deferred annuitants aren’t eligible to re-enroll in FEHB.
