Sec. 870.301  Eligibility for life insurance.


    (a) Each nonexcluded employee is automatically insured for Basic 
insurance unless he/she waives it.
    (b)(1) Optional insurance must be specifically elected; it is not 
automatic.
    (2) An employee may elect one or more types of Optional insurance 
if:
    (i) He/she has Basic insurance; and
    (ii) He/she does not have a waiver of that type (or types) or 
Optional insurance still in effect.
    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this part, the hiring of 
a Federal employee, whether in pay status or nonpay status, for a 
temporary, intermittent position with the decennial census has no effect 
on the amount of his/her Basic or Option B insurance, the withholdings 
or Government contribution for his/her insurance, or the determination 
of when 12 months in nonpay status ends.
