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

    (a)(1) If you are an active workforce member 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 requirements in force for the spouses of 
active workforce members 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.
