Sec. 875.404  What is the effective date of coverage?

    (a) The effective dates of coverage under open season enrollments 
will be announced in a Federal Register Notice that announces open 
season dates.
    (b)(1) If you enroll at any time outside of an open season, your 
coverage effective date is the 1st day of the month after the date your 
application is approved.
    (2) If you are a Federal civilian or Postal employee or member of 
the uniformed services and you are applying for coverage under 
abbreviated underwriting, you also must be actively at work on your 
coverage effective date for your coverage to become effective. If your 
coverage effective date falls on a weekend or holiday, you must be 
actively at work on the last workday before that date for coverage to 
become effective. You must inform the Carrier if you are not actively at 
work on your coverage effective date. In that event, the Carrier will 
issue you a revised effective date, which will be the 1st day of the 
month after the date you return to being actively at work. You also must 
be actively at work on any revised effective date for coverage to become 
effective, or you will be issued another revised effective date in the 
same manner.
