    (a) Your FEDVIP premiums are paid on a pre-tax basis (called premium 
conversion) if you are an active employee, your salary is sufficient to 
make the premium allotments, and your agency is able to make pre-tax 
allotments.

is not high enough to make premium allotments, or your agency is unable 
to make pre-tax allotments;
    (2) You are an annuitant, a survivor annuitant, or a compensationer;
    (3) Your enrollment change was made effective retroactively which 
resulted in additional premium withholdings, unless it is as a result of 
birth or adoption of a child .
    (4) You have been approved to pay premiums directly to the 
Administrator.
