How do I apply for spouse equity coverage?
Applying for spouse equity coverage is a three-step process:
1. You must notify your former spouse’s employing office in writing that you want to apply for spouse equity coverage;
2. You must ask your former spouse’s retirement system to determine if you qualify based on either your court order or your former spouse’s survivor annuity election when he/she retired. The employing office will tell you how to request this determination;
3. Send this determination to the employing office. If you qualify for coverage, it will send you a health benefits election form so you can choose a health benefits plan and option. The employing office will initiate your enrollment when it receives your completed form.
