How long can coverage continue under TCC?
Separating employees can continue TCC for up
to 18 months after the date of separation.
Children and former spouses can continue
TCC for up to 36 months after:
- the date of the qualifying event when the
child or former spouse is covered as a family
member of an employee or annuitant under a
regular FEHB enrollment, or
- the date of the employee's separation if the
qualifying event occurs when the child or
former spouse is covered under the TCC
enrollment of a former employee.
If your child's or former spouse's qualifying
event occurs while you are enrolled for family
coverage under TCC, the child or former spouse
may elect TCC in his or her own right; however,
the TCC coverage may not continue beyond 36
months after the date of your separation.
