Sec. 875.405  If I marry, may my new spouse apply for coverage?

    (a)(1) If you are a Federal civilian or Postal employee or member of 
the uniformed services and you have married, your spouse is eligible to 
submit an application for coverage under this section within 60 days 
from the date of your marriage, and will be subject to the underwriting

during the most recent open season. You, however, are not eligible for 
abbreviated underwriting because of your marriage. You may apply for 
coverage along with your spouse, but full underwriting will be required 
for you.
    (2) After 60 days, your spouse may still apply for coverage but will 
be subject to full underwriting. Your new qualified relatives (such as 
parents-in-law) may apply for coverage with full underwriting at any 
time following the marriage.
    (b) The new spouse and other qualified relatives of an annuitant or 
retired member of the uniformed services may apply for coverage with 
full underwriting at any time following the marriage.
