Sec. 880.303  FEHBP coverage.

    (a) If the missing annuitant had a family enrollment, the enrollment 
will be transferred to the eligible family members under Sec. 890.303(c) 
of this chapter. If there is only one eligible family member, the 
enrollment will be changed to a self-only enrollment under 
Sec. 890.306(r) of this chapter. The changes will be effective the first 
day of the pay period following the date of disappearance.
    (b) If the missing annuitant was covered by a self only enrollment 
or if there is no eligible family member remaining, the enrollment 
terminates at midnight of the last day of the pay period in which he or 
she disappeared, subject to the temporary extension of coverage for 
conversion.
    (c) If the missing annuitant is found to be alive, the coverage held 
before the disappearance is reinstated effective with the pay period 
during which the annuitant is found, unless the annuitant, or the 
annuitant's representative, requests that the enrollment be restored 
retroactively to the pay period in which the disappearance occurred.
