Sec.  894.601  When does my FEDVIP coverage stop?


    (a) If you no longer meet the definition of an eligible employee or 
annuitant, your FEDVIP coverage stops at the end of the pay period in 
which you were last eligible.
    (b) If you go into a period of nonpay or insufficient pay, and you 
do not make direct premium payments, your FEDVIP coverage stops at the 
end of the pay period for which your agency, retirement system, or OWCP 
last made a premium allotment from your pay.
    (c) If you are making direct premium payments, and you stop making 
the payments, your FEDVIP coverage stops at the end of the pay period 
for which you last made a payment.
    (d) If you cancel your enrollment during an open season, your FEDVIP 
coverage stops at midnight of the day before the effective date of an 
open season change as set by OPM.
    (e) If you are enrolled with a combination dental and vision carrier 
with a restricted service area, and you move outside the carrier's 
service area to a service area that does not offer a combination carrier 
and you change to a dental only or vision only carrier, your existing 
combination plan coverage will stop at midnight of the day before the 
effective date of your new plan coverage.
    (f) If your FEDVIP carrier discontinues participation in the program 
at the end of the contract year, then you must change to another carrier 
during the open season, unless OPM establishes a different time. If the 
discontinuance is at a time other than the end of the contract year, OPM 
will establish a time and effective date for you to change your carrier. 
If you do not change your carrier within the time set by OPM, your 
coverage will stop at midnight of the day before the effective date set 
by OPM for coverage with another carrier.
