Fed Regist. 2001 Sep 26;66(187):49086-8.
The Office of Personnel Management is issuing an interim rule to allow TRICARE-eligible FEHB Program annuitants and former spouses to suspend their FEHB enrollments, and then return to the FEHB Program during the Open Season, or return to FEHB coverage immediately, if they involuntarily lose TRICARE coverage. The intent of this rule is to allow TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries to avoid the expense of continuing to pay FEHB Program premiums while they are using TRICARE coverage, without endangering their ability to return to the FEHB Program in the future.
人事管理办公室正在发布一项暂行规定,允许符合TRICARE资格的联邦雇员健康福利计划(FEHB)年金领取者和前配偶暂停其FEHB参保,然后在开放注册期返回FEHB计划,或者如果他们非自愿失去TRICARE保险,则立即恢复FEHB保险。该规定的目的是允许符合TRICARE资格的受益人在使用TRICARE保险时避免继续支付FEHB计划保费的费用,同时又不危及他们未来返回FEHB计划的能力。
