Sec.  892.208  Can I change my enrollment from self and family to self only at 

any time?

    If you are participating in premium conversion you may change your 
FEHB enrollment from self and family to self only under either of the 
following circumstances:
    (a) During the annual open season. A change to self only made during 
the annual open season takes effect on the 1st day of the first pay 
period that begins in the next year.
    (b) Within 60 days after you have a qualifying life event. A change 
to self only made because of a qualifying life

event takes effect on the first day of the first pay period that begins 
after the date your employing office receives your appropriate request. 
Your change in enrollment must be consistent with and correspond to your 
qualifying life event. For example, if you get divorced and have no 
dependent children, changing to self only would be consistent with that 
qualifying life event. If both you and your spouse are Federal 
employees, and your youngest dependent turns age 22, changing from a 
self and family to two self only enrollments would be consistent and 
appropriate for that event.
    (c) If you are subject to a court or administrative order as 
discussed in Sec.  890.301(g)(3) of this chapter, you may not change 
your enrollment to self only as long as the court or administrative 
order is still in effect and you have at least one child identified in 
the order who is still eligible under the FEHB Program, unless you 
provide documentation to your agency that you have other coverage for 
your child or children. See also Sec.  892.207 and Sec.  892.209.
