Sec. 892.209  Can I cancel FEHB coverage at any time?

    If you are participating in premium conversion you may cancel your 
FEHB coverage:
    (a) During the annual open season; or
    (b) Within 60 days after you have a qualifying life event.Your 
cancellation of coverage must be consistent with and correspond to your 
qualifying life event. For example, if you get married and your spouse 
is employed by a company that provides health insurance for you, then 
canceling FEHB coverage would be consistent with that qualifying life 
event. If you adopt a child, canceling coverage would not be consistent 
with that qualifying life event.
