Enrollment options under TCC
To enroll for TCC, you (or your child or former
spouse, as applicable) complete Standard Form
2809, Employee Health Benefits Election Form,
[848 KB]
and submit it to your employing office within
the time limit explained here. Employing offices
can accept belated enrollments in very limited
circumstances. Contact your employing office for
further information.
You are not limited to the plan or option in
which you were covered when the regular
Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB)
coverage ended. You (or your child or former
spouse, as applicable) may enroll in any plan for
which you are qualified. (Some plans require
that enrollees live in a certain geographic area or
belong to the sponsoring employee organization.)
You may elect either a Self Only or self and
family enrollment; however, the individuals
who qualify as family members under a TCC
family enrollment vary depending on whether
the enrollee is a former employee, a child, or a
former spouse. (See "Who is covered under a
TCC family enrollment?")
If a person who is eligible for TCC can't make an
election on his or her own behalf because of a
mental or physical disability, a court-appointed
guardian may file an election for that person.
