PART 891_RETIRED FEDERAL EMPLOYEES HEALTH BENEFITS--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart C_Suspension and Termination
 
Sec. 891.301  Suspension and termination.


    (a) When used in this section, ``month'' includes the 4-week period 
for which a retired employee (other than a survivor) receives 
compensation.
    (b) When compensation is entirely suspended or annuity is entirely 
waived or suspended, Government contributions are suspended. If the 
election is to subscribe to the uniform plan, and the annuity or 
compensation is suspended, or the annuity is waived to the extent that 
the retired employee's share of the cost cannot be withheld, 
withholdings and Government contributions are suspended, but the 
subscription continues.
    (c) If the waiver or suspension covers 3 months or less, Government 
contributions and withholdings for the period of waiver or suspension 
shall be made when annuity payment is resumed. If the waiver or 
suspension covers more than 3 months, the retired employee's election is 
terminated effective at the end of the third month of waiver or 
suspension. A terminated election is renewed when annuity or 
compensation payment is resumed. When a terminated election is renewed 
pursuant to this paragraph, withholdings and Government contributions 
shall be made for the first 3 months of the waiver or suspension. 
Withholdings and Government contributions shall be made for annuity or 
compensation accruing after the election is renewed.
    (d) If title of a retired employee to annuity or compensation is 
terminated, his eligibility under this part is terminated.
    (e) If the eligibility of a retired employee is terminated and other 
members of the same family continue to be eligible under this part, the 
election of the former retired employee continues for the remainder of 
the family unless and until changed in accordance with Sec. 891.202.
