My daughter begins basic training with the Air Force in February. Will I have to wait for the next Federal Benefits Open Season to remove her from my health insurance?
It depends. If your daughter is your only eligible family member and she acquires TRICARE, you may change your FEHB enrollment to self only based on this qualifying life event. But if you must maintain a self and family enrollment to cover other family members, you may not remove your daughter from your enrollment. FEHB will coordinate benefits with TRICARE.
