(a) If you have FEDVIP coverage as an annuitant, and you become reemployed in an eligible position in Federal service or United States Postal Service, you must contact the Administrator so it can send the request for allotments to your agency so your agency can start making the allotments from your pay.
(b) If you did not enroll in FEDVIP coverage as an annuitant and become reemployed in an eligible Federal position or United States Postal Service, you have 60 days to enroll in FEDVIP.
(c) If you enroll as an employee the Administrator will stop sending requests for allotments from your annuity.
(d) If your reemployment terminates, you must notify the Administrator within 30 days to have your allotments withheld from your annuity payments. Otherwise, your FEDVIP coverage will terminate due to non-payment of premiums.
