I am a Federal employee and am divorcing my spouse, who is not a Federal employee. Can I continue to cover my ex-spouse under my FEHB plan?
Your spouse is eligible for coverage while you are in the process of getting divorced and even while you are legally separated. Your spouse loses eligibility for coverage as a family member when your divorce is final. Your spouse can apply for coverage in the FEHB Program under the Spouse Equity or Temporary Continuation of Coverage provisions of the FEHB law. Your spouse should contact your HR office to apply.
